> Dangerous goods transport training is the legally mandated instruction of all personnel involved in the carriage, storage, or documentation of hazardous materials.

Dangerous goods transport training is the legally mandated instruction of all personnel involved in the carriage, storage, or documentation of hazardous materials. The governing frameworks—ADR (road), RID (rail), IMDG Code (sea), and IATA DGR (air)—specify who must be trained, what topics must be covered, and how frequently refresher courses are required. Core content includes classification and labelling of dangerous goods, packaging and securing requirements, accompanying documentation, and emergency response procedures. Drivers, warehouse operatives, and shipping clerks all fall within the training obligation; dangerous goods safety advisers (DGSAs) must additionally pass a recognised competency examination. Failure to document adequate training can result in significant fines and liability exposure during regulatory inspections.
