Dangerous goods training in English in Denmark

iSikkerhed.dk ApS delivers ADR and IMDG training in English at your site in Denmark, including lithium batteries. The content is tailored to the goods and tasks of each group, so that the training reflects the function-specific requirements and the participants’ daily work.

ADR training

Under ADR 1.3.1, employees of the participants listed in ADR chapter 1.4 whose duties concern the road transport of dangerous goods must be trained to a level that matches their responsibilities and duties. Training must be completed before they assume those responsibilities; until then they may only work under the direct supervision of a trained person. The security training requirements in ADR chapter 1.10 must also be covered.

The training must include general awareness, function-specific and safety training (ADR 1.3.2). Where a transport involves several modes, staff must also be aware of the requirements for the other modes (1.3.2.2).

IMDG training

IMDG Code 1.3.1.1 requires shore-based personnel engaged in the transport of dangerous goods by sea to be trained commensurate with their responsibilities before assuming them. This includes staff who classify, pack, mark and label goods, load or unload CTUs, prepare transport documents, or offer or accept dangerous goods for transport (1.3.1.2).

Training must include general awareness/familiarisation and function-specific training (1.3.1.2.1 and 1.3.1.2.2). The entity must itself decide which staff are trained, to what level and by which methods (1.3.1.1). Safety training under 1.3.1.4 is recommendatory (IMDG Code 1.1.1.5) and can be included in our courses on request.

Lithium batteries

Lithium cells and batteries are class 9 dangerous goods in both ADR and the IMDG Code, for example UN 3480 and UN 3481 (lithium ion) and UN 3090 and UN 3091 (lithium metal). Under special provision 188, cells and batteries are not subject to ADR when all its conditions, including limits on lithium content and watt-hour rating, are met. Special provisions 376 and 377 cover damaged or defective batteries and batteries for disposal or recycling.

Our module covers classification, packing, marking and documentation for the batteries your company actually ships, including batteries contained in or packed with equipment.

Practical information

Courses are held at your premises in Denmark and delivered in English. Beforehand we review the goods, packaging and documents you handle, so that examples and exercises reflect your operations. Each participant receives a certificate of training. We reply to enquiries within one working day.

Under Executive Order § 42(4), the employer must keep documentation of the most recent training under ADR chapters 1.3 and 1.10 throughout the employment and for at least one year after it ends. The IMDG Code (1.3.1.3) also requires training records to be kept. Contact us if you need advice on record keeping for sea transport. ADR 1.3.2.4 and IMDG Code 1.3.1.1 both require periodic refresher training but set no fixed interval.
