Dangerous Goods Training Courses – Awareness is Important.
Lack of awareness and improper handling of dangerous goods can lead to accidents, including fires, explosions, chemical burns, and environmental contamination. Understanding the associated risks is essential to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
Types of Dangerous Goods: Dangerous goods are categorized based on the type of hazard they present.
