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 Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC).

The course deals specifically with petroleum products and those chemicals commonly transported in bulk by road such as fertilizer.

On the first two days knowledge is tested in the forms of both written learning activities during the classroom training and also in individual practical demonstrations. On the final day a full practical assessment is conducted. This is done by simulating a real life emergency incident. The assessment is conducted in groups as this is the most realistic way an incident would be dealt with in a real life situation. Although the final assessment is conducted in a group situation, we ensure the assessment is valid and fair by ensuring each student is assessed individually against each element of the assessment. Any students who are found to be ‘Not Yet Competent’ will be able to undertake a re-assessment at a later date and pay the associated fee.
