What’s it all about?
The National Dangerous Goods Awareness Day is provided to address some key points that are evident within businesses and industries within the UK. Those key points identify that when it comes to being compliant to the dangerous goods rules and regulations a UK business or industry falls into one of the following four categories:
Fully Compliant
Partially compliant
Non-compliant to said rules and regulations
Knows that there are rules and regulations but chooses to ignore them as there is very little chance of getting caught
Instead of us tut-tutting and wagging fingers this National Dangerous Goods Awareness Day aims to inform and guide businesses into why there are the rules and regulations in the first place and how you can spread the essential knowledge and skills that everyone needs to keep their staff and the transport chain free from the significant effects that transporting such dangerous goods present.
There are four main transport codes and regulations for dangerous goods:
Road – referred to in Europe as ADR
Air – referred to in the world as ICAO and IATA
Sea – referred to in the world as IMDG
Rail – referred to in Europe as RID
Each transport code (ADR, RID, IATA/ICAO and IMDG) is enshrined within the legal system of the adopting country.
Each transport code requires the appointment of a competent person to deal with the dangerous goods arrangements and in the case of Road and Rail that competent person is a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser.
All transport codes require any business that offers for carriage (known as a consignor) or transports dangerous goods (known as a carrier) to train their staff in either a general awareness or function-specific capacity.
The National Dangerous Goods Awareness Day continues to assist you with this requirement as we provide you with free to download:
- Posters and toolbox talks that address some of the general awareness training
- Introductory films that address key awareness learning requirements
Please scroll through these pages to gain the information and insight that you need to confirm your compliance or be directed as to the steps to take to bring about a compliant state for your business.
