IVS Training - Dangerous Goods Courses

I want to do a Dangerous Goods course

 

A wide range of requirements apply when transporting dangerous goods and a surprisingly large number of products fall into the DG category.

Explosives, Gases, Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids, Oxidising Substances, Toxic and Infectious Substances, Radioactive Material, Corrosives and Miscellaneous Dangerous Substances are all classified as Dangerous Goods and additional care is required when transporting them either by land, sea or air.

The courses listed below will provide you with a greater understanding of the expectations in DG transport and the requirements of IATA and other governing bodies in this area.
