HAZMAT Handling & Transport
Course Overview
This two-day programme provides comprehensive training on the handling, packaging, labelling, and transporting of hazardous materials across African road, rail, sea, and air logistics networks. With increasing volumes of chemicals, fuel products, and industrial materials moving through African supply chains, HAZMAT compliance has become a critical operational requirement.
Participants will learn the classification systems for dangerous goods across all transport modes, proper packaging and labelling techniques, documentation requirements, emergency response procedures, and the regulatory framework governing HAZMAT transport in South Africa and key African markets.
The programme includes practical exercises with real HAZMAT scenarios from African logistics operations and prepares participants to manage hazardous materials safely and in full regulatory compliance.
