ABOUT THIS COURSE

This program is built on the content of TLIF3091 Apply awareness of dangerous goods and hazardous materials requirements, delivered as non-accredited training. Participants learn how dangerous goods are classified, labelled, packaged, stored and segregated — and what every worker needs to know about reading the labels, understanding SDS and handling chemicals safely.

The program follows accredited-training content and standards but issues a Certificate of Attendance rather than a Statement of Attainment. It is the right option for warehouse, logistics, processing and industrial workforces who interact with dangerous goods routinely but do not need the formal qualification.

It pairs naturally with the operational HazMat units in Group 08 (PUAFIR306, PUAFIR308, PUAFIR324) for sites that want both a broad awareness layer for the general workforce and a deeper response capability in the response team.
