Dangerous goods instruction (ADR 1.3)
Whether it's chemicals, gasoline or heating oil - whenever hazardous substances or objects (in short: dangerous goods) are moved on the road, the utmost caution is required. Otherwise, improper transport can lead to serious accidents. That is why it is important that, in addition to the drivers, all employees who have to deal with the dangerous goods (e.g. warehouse personnel) are adequately trained.
Our dangerous goods instruction in accordance with 1.3 ADR provides participants with knowledge of the correct labeling and handling of dangerous goods in addition to the current regulations. In addition, our training instructors explain possible dangers and risks as well as safety precautions and emergency measures.

Legal basis
Every person whose field of work includes the transport of dangerous goods must be trained in accordance with Chapter 1.3 ADR (Section 8.2.3 ADR).
The abbreviation ADR stands for "Accord relatif au transport international des marchandises dangereuses par route" and means the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road.
The guidelines are updated every two years to reflect the latest technical and legal findings and are legally valid in all member states by virtue of an EU regulation. Accordingly, employees' knowledge should also be regularly refreshed.
Who is the dangerous goods training aimed at?
The dangerous goods instruction according to ADR 1.3 is aimed at all employees of a company who transport dangerous goods or whose area of responsibility includes dangerous goods in road traffic.
This includes, for example, drivers of vehicles who do not require an ADR license because the maximum permissible total quantity per transport unit is not exceeded. Employees who are involved in the transport of dangerous goods or who are to take over this task in the future (shippers, packers, loaders) should also be instructed accordingly.
