Dangerous Goods Transportation
The Dangerous Goods Transportation course provides specialized training on the safe handling, packaging, and transportation of hazardous materials. It equips professionals with the knowledge of regulatory requirements and safety protocols to ensure the safe and compliant movement of dangerous goods.
What is the Dangerous Goods Transportation?
The Dangerous Goods Transportation course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive training on the regulatory requirements for transporting hazardous materials by road (DOT 49 CFR), air (IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations), and sea (IMDG Code). The safe transportation of dangerous goods protects transport workers, emergency responders, and the public from the chemical, physical, and biological hazards that improperly packaged, labelled, or documented shipments create. Regulatory non-compliance can result in fines exceeding $500,000 per violation, criminal prosecution, and catastrophic incidents. The curriculum covers the UN classification system (nine classes with divisions), proper shipping names and UN numbers, packaging requirements (UN-approved packaging, performance levels, packing groups), marking and labelling (package marks, hazard labels, handling marks), shipping documentation (DOT shipping papers, IATA Shipper's Declaration, IMDG Dangerous Goods Declaration), vehicle placarding (DOT), loading and segregation requirements, emergency response information, training requirements for each function (shipper, carrier, handler), and the regulatory differences between road, air, and sea transport. All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
