Dangerous goods include chemicals, explosives, flammable liquids, and toxic substances. These materials need careful handling. The DGSA course helps people manage the complexities of transporting these goods safely. The course covers key topics, such as: ADR classification of dangerous goods (UN Classes 1 to 9). Transport categories, including limited and excepted quantities. Placarding and marking of vehicles for hazardous goods. Essential documentation for safe transport.
