  • Packers and fillers of dangerous goods
  • Administrative staff involved in shipping documentation

The ADR 1.3 Awareness training applies to all other employees involved in the process.

⚖️ Why is ADR training mandatory?

The ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) requires that all employees involved in the transport of dangerous goods receive appropriate training.

According to ADR 1.3:

  • Employees must be trained before performing their duties
  • Training must be documented
  • Companies are responsible for compliance
  • Training must be periodically refreshed

Failure to comply can result in:

  • Fines and penalties
  • Liability in case of incidents
  • Increased safety risks
  • Reputational damage

👉 This course helps your organization meet these legal obligations.
