The North East Chamber of Commerce (NECC) is providing another chance for businesses to attend the Dangerous Goods by Road and Sea course that ran last year.
Hartlepool Enterprise Centre will play host to the Dangerous Goods by Road and Sea training, a three-day course to be held on 18-20 May this year. The cost will be £325 per person for NECC members, and £380 for non-members.
This practical course explains companies’ legal responsibilities relating to the carriage of dangerous goods by road and sea. The format is relaxed and informal and the tutor will be pleased to answer any questions attendees may have.
The training complies with the European Road Regulations (ADR) which are implemented in the UK by Statutory Instrument (SI 2007 No 1573) and the IMDG Code for Sea. In the UK, the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) is responsible for monitoring the regulations, and use of the Marine Pollutants Act enables this body to enforce the IMDG Code when breaches are suspected. The Department for Transport Dangerous Goods Office is responsible for the enforcement of ADR.
