The big question that has been asked a lot this year is, Do I need to do it?
The following quote is taken directly from the HSE website in regards to loads that do not meet the ADR threshold
23. If a vehicle is carrying under the small load threshold, many of the requirements of ADR are not applicable. The table below summarises the position. Some care needs to be taken, as “what is not exempted is still required”. In most cases the remaining obligations are:
-
General training for driver (ADR 1.3.2). A record should be kept (ADR 1.3.3)
-
Carry one 2 kg dry powder fire extinguisher or equivalent (ADR 8.1.4.2)
-
Stow the dangerous goods properly (ADR 7.5.7)
So anyone driving a vehicle carrying dangerous goods in any quantity must have “General Training for the driver” , It also states a record should be kept.
Our ADR Awareness course is approved for Driver CPC so you will always have evidence of this course as it will be on your driver CPC record.
