Introduction to Dangerous Goods by Air, Road, and Sea Overview for Management Staff

This online course provides a general overview of the Dangerous Goods Regulations and is designed to raise awareness of the risks associated with the transport of dangerous goods by air, road and sea.

Many everyday items can become dangerous if they are not correctly classified, packed, labelled, or handled. Failures in compliance have led to serious transport accidents and significant fines for companies and individuals worldwide. This course explains legal responsibilities in plain language and helps learners understand what actions are required to remain compliant.

The course is delivered entirely online, takes approximately one hour to complete, and includes a multiple‑choice assessment. Successful completion allows learners to print a certificate immediately.
