Dangerous goods training becomes legally required the moment an employee takes on any task involving the packing, marking, documentation or transport of hazardous materials. It covers classification systems, packaging standards, labelling requirements and shipping documentation under the applicable regulatory framework: ADR for road, IMDG for sea and IATA-DGR for air transport. Freight forwarders, shippers and warehouse operators must ensure that all relevant staff hold current certification and that training records are properly maintained; renewal intervals are set by the respective regulation. Training concludes with a written examination, and the resulting certificate must be produced on request by authorities or customers. Non-compliance can result in fines, operational restrictions and increased liability following an incident.
