Welcome to this learning event!

The learning process involves new skills and results in the development of new behaviours. Many of us

have attended various learning programmes and/or courses over the years that resulted in us collecting

books, manuals and sometimes a head full of data but little knowledge and wisdom. For this learning

process to have meaning, you as the learner must be willing to take risks – to embrace new information,

to share your ideas in our “classrooms of life” where you can design your own learning experience.

At the end of the course the learner will be capable of handling and storing

hazardous/dangerous goods safely in accordance with national and international statutory

requirements in any freight handling environment.

This course is aligned to the registered SAQA Unit Standard: Controlling hazardous/dangerous and

dangerous goods. Please refer the Unit Standard on the next page.

Unit Standard ID: 8020

NQF Level (New): 04

Credits: 4

At the end of the course, the learner will be able to:

· Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of and be able to implement the specific statutory

requirements relating to the handling of hazardous/dangerous goods;

· Identify and classify hazardous/dangerous goods;

· Handle and store hazardous/dangerous goods according to specified requirements; and

· Take the appropriate actions in the event of an accident or incident involving hazardous/dangerous

goods.

If you are in disagreement with the outcome of the assessment also communicate this to the facilitator

who will make available to you our Appeals Procedure (A copy is available for your perusal with the
