Every year, over 60% of dangerous goods operators struggle with compliance failures—misclassification, labeling errors, and documentation gaps dominate inspection reports. The UK and EU's hazardous materials frameworks rank among the world's most demanding, requiring simultaneous compliance to UN Model Regulations plus five mode-specific codes: ADR (road), RID (rail), ADN (waterways), IMDG (sea), and ICAO (air). Failure to manage these exposes organizations to severe penalties, shipment delays and liability risks across the entire transport and supply chain.
This certified program is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of these complex frameworks and help you manage the risks and obligations associated with dangerous goods compliance. You will gain expertise in key areas such as the UK Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations, the EU ADR framework, classification and labelling requirements under CLP and REACH, and the technical rules governing packaging, marking, and storage. You will also gain insights into harmonizing multi-modal transport requirements, navigating documentation and emergency response obligations, and integrating compliance into everyday logistics operations.
Furthermore, this program will equip you with practical skills to mitigate operational and legal risks when managing dangerous goods. This includes understanding how to interpret and implement complex permit conditions, preparing for regulatory inspections and managing hazardous incidents in line with environmental and safety laws. You will also gain strategies for aligning cross-border operations across the UK and EU, minimizing delays, fines, and reputational risks.
Upon successful completion, you will attain the Certification in UK and EU Dangerous Goods Regulations and Compliance. This certification will significantly enhance your professional credentials, demonstrating your expertise in interpreting legislation, meeting statutory obligations, and managing dangerous goods safely and lawfully. This globally recognized certification holds lifelong validity and will stand as a testament to your leadership and commitment to safety excellence in dangerous goods management.

What Can You Expect From This Live Program
Though dangerous goods represent less than 5% of freight volumes across the UK and EU, they generate a disproportionate share of serious incidents and enforcement actions.

Throughout the program, you will gain technical competence across all core compliance areas, including dangerous goods classification, UN number assignment, packing groups, special provisions, packaging standards, marking and labelling, documentation, and compliant storage. You will also learn how to accurately interpret Safety Data Sheets and apply hazard communication and packaging rules consistently across multimodal transport operations.
Participants will also learn additional modules that address packaging selection, transport documentation, vehicle and container marking, segregation requirements, and storage and warehousing obligations under COMAH and HSG71. Beyond this, emergency preparedness, security controls for high-consequence dangerous goods, incident reporting, internal audits, and regulatory inspections are also comprehensively covered.
By the end of the program, you will be fully equipped to navigate the complexity of dangerous goods regulations, proactively manage regulatory risk, minimize liabilities, and ensure robust compliance across your entire supply chain.
Upon successful completion of the program, you will earn the Certification in UK and EU Dangerous Goods Regulations and Compliance, a credential that opens new pathways for career advancement and leadership progression.
