For people who use, handle, load or shipping hazardous chemicals
This course is for people who use, decant, unpack, move, fill, store, load, or ship dangerous goods as part of their daily job. It's ideal for warehouse team members who pack and load dangerous goods and complete dangerous goods declaration forms for freight carried on the road. If you use chemicals in your job, this course covers what you need. If you're a dispatcher or supervisor checking DG documentation, you'll know how to fill it out and what to check. If you're a forklift operator moving dangerous goods, you'll be able to stay safe and know what to do in an emergency.
The online modules include:
The course meets the training requirements of NZS 5433 and Regulation 4.5 (see below). It is not a certified handlers or approved fillers course.
Training should be repeated every 3 years.
We recommend you also complete the Spill Control and Spill Kit training course.
This course covers safe working with chemicals and safe storage of all types of chemicals across the 9 classes and their divisions. For the specific chemical(s) that a person is working with, they must be provided with information about the physico-chemical and health hazards associated with it, the procedures for safe use, handling, manufacture, storage and disposal (where relevant), how to use PPE or equipment with the chemical, and what to do in an emergency involving the chemical(s). This information is usually found on the safety data sheet for the product. Generic training for groups of similar chemicals is included in this course, and this complies with clause 4.5(4). Trainees are taught how to read the SDS in this course.

Where is the course held? The theory is done online (anywhere you have internet access).
I don't have a D endorsement yet. Can I use this course? Yes, if you don't need to drive a vehicle that carries dangerous goods on the road, you can do this course so you know how to handle dangerous goods in the workplace
Does this course cover any unit standards? This is not a unit standard course
Do you have to do all the modules? See below. Some modules may be able to be disabled if they are not relevant to you.
This course covers all those scenarios. You can modify the course to suit the specific job requirements of your team; modules related to shipping and documentation can be disabled for team members that only use the chemicals.
You only need a D endorsement if you move dangerous goods on the road. This also applies to forklift operators with an F endorsement who unload dangerous goods from the road or a right-of-way.
The difference between a D endorsement and this course is that this course has the specific knowledge about handling the actual chemicals; a D endorsement doesn't include that because it assumes you're driving a truck and someone else has handled, packed and loaded them.
If you need a D endorsement, check out our D endorsement course.
It covers all classes from 1-9, plus how to understand GHS and HSNO classifications, packing groups, and hazardous area atmosphere zones (0-2)
