Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This training consists of hazardous good transportation and Project transportation, which are two parts which are connected to each other.
The first part of the training shall cover the provisions of the European Convention (ADR) related to the Hazardous good transportation by road which the United nations has exposed and the transportation of hazardous goods. In this part, shall be analyzed as a baseline the Europe Convention regarding the Hazardous Good Transportation by Road, the general provisions of this convention, Dangerous goods’ classification, exemptions on dangerous goods ‘carriage (limited and exceptional quantity exemptions) Reading of hazardous goods’ list, provisions in respect of packaging and tanks, shipment procedures, requirements of international standards and tests regarding the packaging, provisions regarding loading unloading handling conditions, vehicles team and equipment operating and obligations regarding vehicles manufacturing and approvals, hazardous goods safety adviser’ mission, attribute and responsibility

The second part is dedicated to the transportation project through which it is aimed to elaborate material and information flow’s planning for non standards loads within the supply chain, take cognizance of legal legislations, gain knowledge upon the differences between regular transportation and routines of Transportation Project.
The training aims to provide the students full knowledge of information on the convention related to dangerous good’ transportation to be carried within the Scope of ADR regulations through up-to-date and practical examples, as it aims to improve the students’ professional operational skills by making students debating methods and basis upon which these transportations are implemented and by practice

Course Content:

Hazardous material transport flows, hazardous material control processes, design of hazardous and special material logistics, insurance in hazardous materials, logistics planning for hazardous materials transport, dangerous transport indicators, risk management in logistics networks, risk management, intermodal transport of dangerous goods, rules and regulations related to project transport
