INTRODUCTORY LEVEL WORKSHOP – AM Half Day, 9 MARCH 2017

The Australian Environment Business Network (AEBN) has developed the Introductory Level to Dangerous Goods Storage, Handling and Transport Workshop to bring you up to speed with Dangerous Goods (Storage, Handling) Regulations, requirements and your obligations for businesses with operations in Victoria, including transport requirements.

The Workshop is designed for personnel who have a basic and general understanding of the storage, handling and transport of Dangerous Goods in Victoria; and personnel requiring a refresher course to ensure you are up to date with the changes.

As each state has different Dangerous Goods laws and requirements, this Workshop will cover – the 9 Classes of Dangerous Goods; Safety Data Sheets (SDS); Dangerous Goods labelling with Globally Harmonised System (GHS) labelling, discussion on the new Code of Practice for Storage and Handling of Dangerous Goods and much more. 

The Workshop is designed for personnel who have a basic and general understanding of the storage, handling and transport of Dangerous Goods in Victoria.

Please note:  Organisations have an obligation to ensure they are up to date and compliant with dangerous goods laws and that staff receive appropriate training.  The AEBN recommends that staff receive refresher training every 2 to 3 years, and certainly when changes are introduced.
