E-learning IMDG Codes for Workboats

This course covers the regulations, procedures and practical skills needed to carry packaged dangerous goods safely on workboats: what dangerous goods are and why the IMDG Code exists, the UK regulatory framework and your training obligations, classification into the nine hazard classes, packaging, labelling, placarding and documentation, and safe stowage and segregation. The final chapters address emergency response: fire-fighting, spillage procedures, first aid and the “can I carry this?” safety checklist.

After this e-learning you have a working understanding of:

• what counts as dangerous goods and why they require special handling
• the UK and international framework that governs their carriage at sea
• classification, packaging, labelling and documentation requirements
• safe stowage, segregation and return of dangerous goods
• emergency response for fire, spillage and first aid at sea

This course gives workboat crews the foundation to make informed decisions on board.
