ADR Course Info

ADR Training and moving dangerous goods by road is governed by international regulations and is strictly policed. Most European countries are signed up to the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). Each country that complies with ADR implements specific safety measures through its own national legislation.

The purpose of ADR is to ensure that dangerous goods (including clinical and other dangerous waste) being carried by road can cross international borders freely, as long as goods, vehicles and drivers comply with its provisions. ADR has been in force since 1968 and is administered by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). It’s updated every 2 years to take account of technological advances.

Driver ADR training certificates required under ADR

Under the European Agreement on ADR, drivers of vehicles with tanks and certain tank components, and some drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods in packages, must hold a special vocational certificate, sometimes referred to informally as an ‘ADR Certificate’.

All drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods must attend an approved basic ADR training course. These courses equip drivers with information and tools so that they:

are aware of the hazards in the carriage of dangerous goods

can take steps to reduce the likelihood of an incident taking place

can take all necessary measures for their own safety and that of the public and the environment to limit the effects of any incident that does occur

have individual practical experience of the actions they will need to take

Elements Covered

This course covers:

Safe packaging, handling, loading and stowage of the radioactive materials

Hazards related to ionising radiation

The necessary measures to execute in the event of an accident involving radioactive materials
