INTERMEDIATE LEVEL WORKSHOP –  PM Half Day, 2 April 2014

This comprehensive and practical Workshop has been designed to bring you up to speed with Dangerous Goods laws and requirements in Victoria to an Intermediate Level. 

As each state has different Dangerous Goods laws and requirements, AEBN’s Intermediate Level  to Dangerous Goods Storage, Handling and Transport Workshop will include – the  segregation of dangerous goods rules, chemical compatibility, placarding of stores, vehicles and containers, labeling, bunding rules of storage of dangerous goods, risk assessment requirements and much more.

Please note:  Organisations have an obligation to ensure they are up to date and compliant with dangerous goods laws, including the changes, 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.
