IMDG – Code and safe handling of dangerous goods for shore based personnel

Why this programme ?

In a port-related environment, tons of dangerous goods are traded, handled and stored every day.
Dangerous goods can be a risk to health, safety, property and environment. Following international and national legislation, stakeholders are obligated to handle these goods in the safest possible way.
It goes without saying that complying to safety regulations has added value for the entire port community and undoubtably pays off in the long run.

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code is the main code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea. This serves to guarantee  the safety of theship, cargo and crew when transporting dangerous goods. It has been drawn up by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and is part of SOLAS chapter 7. Requirements are also being added from MARPOL. For example, it is indicated
which substances are harmful to the marine environment.

The following topics will be covered:

• Scope and implementation of the IMDG
