Description

Dangerous goods are substances which can pose a hazard to either:

Health, Safety, Property, or the environment

A point on terminology. Hazardous substances, hazardous materials and dangerous goods are the same. They are just different terms. Typically, Dangerous Goods is the term used for hazardous substances while they are in transport. In the UK a hazardous substance becomes a dangerous good when transported. In the US hazardous substances are termed hazardous materials or hazmat

Most goods are not dangerous enough to require special rules during carriage

But many goods including everyday items, have the potential to cause harm. Here, additional rules exist to protect people.

Will this course allow me to sign off all relevant paperwork for a consignment to travel on the road? Including hazardous loads.

Hi, It’ll tell you what paperwork you need plus what the packing requirements are. I don’t know who sets your requirements for signing paperwork so I cannot answer that.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
