Mandatory Training for Handling Hazardous Substances

WorkSafe requires that workers who handle hazardous substances are properly trained and competent. This includes training in areas such as fire extinguisher use, spill kit response and dangerous goods handling. These courses teach practical skills for preventing incidents and responding effectively if something goes wrong, helping to reduce harm to people, property and the environment.

Dangerous Goods Handler Courses

Dangerous goods handler training focuses on the safe handling, storage and management of hazardous substances in workplaces such as warehouses, depots, workshops and industrial sites. Training covers hazard identification, segregation, labelling, emergency procedures and personal safety, ensuring workers understand how to manage dangerous goods safely and in line with regulatory requirements.

D Endorsement for Transporting Dangerous Goods by Road

Anyone transporting dangerous goods by road in New Zealand must hold a D endorsement on their driver licence.

This training is mandatory for drivers who carry dangerous goods as part of their work.

Support Compliance, Safety and Due Diligence

Dangerous goods training is suitable for individual workers, drivers, supervisors and employers who need to meet legal obligations and demonstrate due diligence. Proper training helps reduce the risk of incidents, supports safer workplaces, and ensures businesses meet their responsibilities under hazardous substances and transport legislation.
