It focuses on dangerous goods in tank containers but not exclusively. Beer tanks, for example, are encompassed.

This course takes as its themes in order to be a tank container operator:

• You must have a knowledge of the legislation, particularly the dangerous goods legislation governing their use
• You must have a good understanding of the dangers of the chemicals which are carried in tank containers
• You must have an appreciation of how tank containers are designed, constructed, inspected, tested and certificated
• You must then put all this knowledge together to plan and carry out a tank container operation. You must, for example, understand heating systems, marking and labelling and what documentation is needed to accompany the laden tank container.

So far, this course has been attended by tank container personnel from Australia, Belgium, Brasil, Bulgaria, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, UAE, UK, USA.

Comments such as 'illuminating' 'immensely informative' 'I never realised there is so much to know about tank containers' 'I've got an enormous amount of work to do when I return to the office from what I've learnt' are quite common at the end of this five day course.

The course includes refreshments and a light lunch each day.
