Course Awareness fumigated containers (English)

Description

The Awareness of Fumigated Containers online course helps employees recognise potential gas hazards when opening, handling or working near cargo transport units. Risks may arise from deliberate fumigation or from gases released by cargo, packaging or other materials during transport.

Topics covered

The course includes four online modules:

• Purpose of the training, common hazards, and relevant regulations.
• Definitions and essential knowledge about fumigated and potentially gas-contaminated containers.
• Safe working environments and measures to protect people and the environment.
• Recognising hazards and understanding the appropriate actions and escalation procedures.

Awareness training does not authorise a person to enter an unsafe container, conduct gas measurements or perform specialist fumigation operations without suitable additional competence and procedures.

Who should take the course?

Intended for warehouse and logistics staff, container handlers, supervisors and others who may encounter fumigated or otherwise gas-contaminated containers.

Certificate and access

Language: English. The course consists of online presentations and can be completed in a few hours at the participant’s own pace. A certificate is available after completing the final test with at least 70% correct answers.
