Dangerous Goods Awareness
ADR regulations specify that those who do not need vocational training certificates but who do handle dangerous goods (warehouse staff, drivers handling limited quantities or below threshold loads etc.) and those involved with their movement require “training appropriate to their duties” (ADR 8.2.3).
