ADR General 1.3 in English – E-learning (1 day)

About ADR General 1.3

ADR General is an introductory course on dangerous goods and the risks associated with their transport and related handling. It covers laws and regulations, responsibilities in the transport chain, accident prevention and ways to limit harm if an incident occurs.

Who is the course for?

The training is intended for people whose work involves the transport of dangerous goods and who want to study in English. Depending on their duties, this may include warehouse staff, packers, loaders, unloaders, administrative staff, managers and supervisors.

Safety representatives and others seeking an introduction to these risks may also benefit. Your actual duties and responsibilities determine the knowledge you need. Contact us before booking if you want help assessing whether the course suits a particular role or activity.

Prior knowledge

No prior knowledge is required. You need to be able to understand the course in English. Keeping questions from your workplace in mind can help you connect the training to the products and tasks you encounter in practice.

Format and duration

ADR General is delivered as self-paced e-learning. The scope is equivalent to one day of study. You choose when and where to study and have 180 days after booking to finish the course. There are no scheduled Teams lessons.

You can spread your study time over several sessions. Plan enough time to work through the material carefully and reflect on situations in your own organisation, rather than treating completion as a substitute for understanding the relevant risks.
