Transport safety
An online ADR course for drivers and carriers transporting dangerous goods by road. Covers vehicle placarding and orange plates, required on-board and personal protective equipment, crew obligations, the instructions in writing, road tunnel categories and the 1.1.3.6 exemptions — the practical knowledge behind the ADR certificate for dangerous goods drivers.
Companies are fined for untrained dangerous goods staff under national law in every ADR country — and untrained handling puts lives at risk. Training is the simplest protection.

About the course
Transport safety is ADR training for drivers and transport coordinators. The exemptions that allow driving without an ADR certificate, vehicle equipment, placards and marking, tunnels and emergency actions — everything you need to know on the road.
ADR Chapter 1.3 training is a legal duty of every company whose employees take part in dangerous goods operations. Untrained staff expose the company to fines and people to real risk. Our online courses close this requirement conveniently and without taking anyone off work — learn at your own pace in your team’s language and receive the certificate right on the platform.
