Course programme
The Courses are constructed from a series of Sections—
- Core, which teaches the basics for working with all types of dangerous goods
- Tanks, for dangerous goods in road tankers and tank containers
- Packages, for dangerous goods in packages, apart from Explosives and Radioactives
- Nine Class Sections, for a knowledge of the UN danger Classes
As a minimum, the Driver has to take the Core Section, the Tanks or Packages Section, and one Class Section—but see Explosives and Radioactives later.
The Sections are run regularly at the Chemfreight DGT Centres at Runcorn, Bristol and Essex, with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) examinations taken together at the end. Courses can also be set up for Companies in any other UK location where suitable facilities are available.
The general Course for Core, Packages, Tanks, and all Classes except Explosives and Radioactives takes 5 days.
