This course is nationally recognised and students who successfully complete the course will obtain a Statement of Attainment with the Unit of competency.
Current regulatory requirements set out in Australian Dangerous Goods (DG) legislation place clear obligations on companies that transport dangerous goods.
It is a legal requirement that these companies have a Transport Emergency Response Plan (TERP) in place and that it is exercised on an annual basis. It is also necessary that staff who are involved in that plan have the appropriate training to undertake their role.
In response, Transport Industries Skills Centre Inc. (TISC) has developed a course that is designed to assist Dangerous Goods transport companies across Australia meet their legal obligations as well as enhancing their preparedness to respond to transport emergencies whatever the situation.
The program has the full support of Dangerous Goods industry peek bodies such as Canberra Regions Oil Industry Emergency Response Group (CROIERG), the National Bulk Tanker Association (NBTA), state Emergency Service agencies as well as the Australian and New Zealand Council for fire and emergency services (AFAC).
The course has been designed to develop the skills of Emergency Response Advisers, Specialist Responders, Response Team Members and/or Response Team Leaders who work for companies that move dangerous goods by road transport. The course deals specifically with petroleum products and those chemicals commonly transported in bulk by road such as fertilizer.
This intensive 3 day course deals with the practical planning and tasks that relate to the transport emergency incident itself and focuses on responding personnel who will perform the “at incident” recovery and containment.
