It is required by UK law, that all drivers that carry dangerous goods by road, must undertake ADR training, in order to ensure they are able to do so safely.

Total Compliance are experts in transport training and compliance and we are approved ADR training providers.

What is ADR training?

UK law requires drivers carrying dangerous goods by road to undergo ADR training to ensure safe transportation. The ADR course covers both initial training and refresher training. Total Compliance is a nationwide transport training and compliance expert, and is an approved ADR training provider with two Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSA) on the team.

ADR stands for "Accord européen sur le transport des marchandises Dangereuses par Route" in French, which translates to "European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road" in English. It is a European agreement that sets the rules for the safe transportation of dangerous goods by road in Europe. The ADR training is a requirement for drivers carrying dangerous goods by road to ensure they can do so safely, as per the regulations set by the agreement.

Who needs ADR training?

ADR training and certification is mandatory in the UK for drivers who operate vehicles carrying tanks, certain tank components, and certain dangerous goods in packages. The drivers must attend an approved ADR training course and hold a valid ADR Vocational Training Licence issued by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).

This is to ensure that drivers carrying such goods, can do so safely and that they are equipped
with the following:

  • An awareness of the hazards in the carriage of dangerous goods
  • The steps they can take in order to reduce the likelihood of an incident from occurring
  • The measures required to protect their own safety and that of the public and the environment, in the event that an incident does occur
  • Individual practical experience of any actions they will need to take
