Professional Diploma in Dangerous Goods Transport

This professional diploma covers the full life cycle of a dangerous goods shipment across sea, road, rail and air. You will study the UN Recommendations and the regulations derived from them, the responsibilities of each actor in the chain, the Dangerous Goods List and limited and excepted quantities; the nine hazard classes and their criteria; packagings, IBCs, large and salvage packagings, portable tanks and their testing; labeling, placarding, orange plates and special marks; transport documents, packing certificates, safety data sheets, instructions in writing and electronic data; stowage under the CTU Code, segregation tables, tank operations, temperature control and tunnel restrictions; and emergency response with the ERG, EmS and MFAG guides, protective equipment, security plans and incident reporting.

What sets this professional diploma apart: a genuinely multimodal approach that compares the IMDG Code, ADR, RID and IATA rules instead of studying a single mode in isolation; in-depth coverage at diploma level that goes well beyond an introductory course on the regulations, from packaging testing to temperature-controlled cargo and security plans; a practical emphasis on documentation, segregation and placarding errors that cause incidents and penalties; and a final project in which you build a complete management plan for a complex dangerous cargo on a multimodal route, from classification to emergency response.
