Description
Welcome to this learning event!
The learning process involves new skills and results in the development of new behaviours. Many of us
have attended various learning programmes and/or courses over the years that resulted in us collecting
books, manuals and sometimes a head full of data but little knowledge and wisdom. For this learning
process to have meaning, you as the learner must be willing to take risks – to embrace new information,
to share your ideas in our “classrooms of life” where you can design your own learning experience.
At the end of the course the learner will be capable of handling and storing
hazardous/dangerous goods safely in accordance with national and international statutory
requirements in any freight handling environment.
This course is aligned to the registered SAQA Unit Standard: Controlling hazardous/dangerous and
