ADR Awareness Training

Remote ADR Awareness / ADR General Awareness Training Course

Our Remote ADR Awareness Training (also known as ADR General Awareness Training) fully satisfies the requirements of Chapter 1.3 of ADR. The course is delivered live on Zoom by a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) and ADR instructor.

This online ADR awareness training provides practical knowledge, legal compliance, and peace of mind for organisations involved in the movement of dangerous goods.

Flexible and Tailored Remote Training

We understand that no two businesses are the same. That’s why this training is designed for teams of up to 15 people and can be delivered at a time that suits your organisation.

Unlike many generic courses, ours is bespoke and tailored to your exact needs. This means your team receives training that is:

• Relevant – Content directly relates to your staff’s roles, keeping sessions engaging and meaningful.

• Legally compliant – Chapter 1.3 of ADR requires awareness training that is “relative to your responsibilities and duties.” Off-the-shelf training often fails to meet this requirement.

• Cost-effective – By focusing only on what matters, we cut wasted time and reduce costs.

• Flexible – Sessions can be scheduled around your team’s availability, even across multiple days if required.

Meeting Legal Requirements Under ADR

Our ADR General Awareness Course fulfils the legal obligation outlined in Chapter 1.3 of ADR, applying to everyone involved in the road transport of dangerous goods.

The course runs for 1–3 hours, depending on the complexity of your organisation’s consignments and is interactive, with opportunities for questions and answers. A qualified DGSA instructor guides each session live via Zoom, ensuring up-to-date knowledge and real-world context.

Please note: This course is not for drivers seeking a full ADR Driver Training Certificate. Drivers who need an ADR card should book our Driver ADR Training courses instead. This awareness course is designed for all other participants who handle, prepare, or manage the carriage of dangerous goods.

Do You Need ADR Awareness Training?

If your role involves any part of the transportation of dangerous goods by road, then usually yes—ADR awareness training is legally required. Many people underestimate how widely these regulations apply. Many delivery companies are now highlighting the issue as their systems improve, and so this training is becoming more and more in demand.

This course is suitable for:

• Consignors – those responsible for shipping or sending goods

• Operators and managers overseeing logistics

• Loaders and packers handling goods before transport

• Drivers operating under exemptions from full ADR Driver Training

If you are unsure whether this applies to your business, we encourage you to call us for advice.

Certification

After successful completion, each participant receives a Certificate of Completion. This certificate demonstrates compliance during audits and confirms your business meets ADR awareness training obligations.

Course Content

Because the training is tailored to your organisation, the content is always relevant. Typical topics include:

• General provisions of ADR

• Responsibilities of key participants

• ADR packaging requirements

• Labelling and marking of dangerous goods

• Vehicle identification and marking rules

• Consignment documentation and procedures

• UN Classes and Packing Groups for dangerous goods

• Security measures during transport

• ADR exemptions (including Limited Quantities and small loads)

This adaptable approach ensures no time is wasted on irrelevant information. Instead, your staff receive focused, role-specific guidance.

Case Studies: ADR Awareness Training in Practice

Our bespoke training has already supported a wide variety of businesses. Here are just a few examples:

National Energy Provider

Staff were tasked with distributing large lithium-ion batteries used for renewable energy storage. Within three days of their enquiry, we designed a tailored course and trained 50 employees in a single day, split into three remote sessions.

Cleaning Products Manufacturer

This company shipped chemicals for cleaning solutions but lacked ADR-trained drivers. They needed a clear understanding of thresholds and exemptions. We delivered a custom awareness course and continue to provide DGSA support for their operations.

International Power Tool Manufacturer

Battery-powered tools with powerful lithium cells triggered ADR regulations during export. Authorities flagged the issue, and the company turned to us. We delivered on-site awareness training over two sessions to suit their schedule and now provide ongoing compliance support.

These case studies demonstrate how awareness training prevents costly mistakes and ensures compliance before issues arise.

Why Choose Remote ADR Awareness Training?

Remote training offers flexibility and convenience. Delivered via Zoom, it allows participants to join from home, the office, or multiple sites simultaneously. Unlike pre-recorded videos, these sessions are live and interactive. Your staff can ask questions directly to an experienced DGSA and receive answers in real time.

In addition, remote delivery reduces travel costs and minimises downtime. Teams can learn without leaving the workplace, yet still benefit from the expertise of a highly qualified instructor.
