Activity 1: Dangerous goods identification
Arrange with your trainer to tour the storage area where dangerous goods are
held. Use this opportunity to practice identifying dangerous goods labels.Record what dangerous goods you handle in the space below. Do this activitythree times over about a month, as this will give you a picture of what sort ofdangerous goods are most frequently transported in your workplace.
Discuss with your trainer, supervisor and fellow team members the main risksassociated with each of these types of dangerous goods (e.g. smoking orhaving a naked flame around flammable liquids such as solvents). Recordyour responses in the space below (one example has been done for you as aguide):
Typeofgoods Class Risks
Methanol Class3(Subsidiaryriskcat6.1)

packaging group designator (where goods are going to).
You should also find out what you should do if any of theserequirements are not met in the documentation. Options mightinclude:
amending the documentation yourself
reporting the matter to other personnel in the workplace
making a written report
contacting the company that supplied the goods
a combination of these actions.
The information in Table 7.1, Chapter 7, Dangerous Goods Code,Volume 1, 6th edition provides exceptions to these guiding notesand this should be used to both guide your learning and todetermine required marking of dangerous goods. Workplaceprocedures should be built on the Code and cover the situationsyou will come across in your workplace. If in doubt, check with yourtrainer.
The documentation may be electronically transmitted to the driverof the vehicle but a hard copy (paper-based copy) must be carriedin the vehicle.
This is placed in an emergency information holder on the inside ofa door of the cabin or if the vehicle design does not allow this, in a
position close to the door, easily accessible and clearly visible. Thisinformation provides a guide for what to do in the event of a vehiclefire.

Activity 2: Checking documentation
Talk to your supervisor, trainer and OHS representatives in the workplace.
Locate any workplace procedures that cover these situations described in thequestions below and record your responses in the space below:
what are you required to do if documentation of packageddangerous goods is incorrect in some way (information is notaccurate), incomplete or does not match with requirements?
what are you required to do if when checking thedocumentation of packaged dangerous goods you identify adiscrepancy between the load and the documentation (wheregoods may have gone missing)?
If you cannot locate procedures to cover these situations, ask yoursupervisor, trainer and OHS representatives, what you would be
expected to do in these situations and record this information. TheDangerous Goods Code can be useful to assist you in this task.Suggest to your trainer that this material gets written intoprocedures or SOPs for your workplace.

Activity 4: Compatibility and segregation
Learn as much as you can about segregation and compatibility bytalking to your supervisor and/or trainer and arranging to assist withpreparations for transporting dangerous goods. Respond to thefollowing questions:
What types of incompatible packaged dangerous goods doesyour workplace transport?
What sorts of segregation devices or methods are used inyour workplace for these goods?
How is information made available to relevant team membersabout compatibility and segregation?
What are the risks and the penalties for failing to segregatedangerous goods that are incompatible (see DangerousGoods Code, Volume 1, 6th edition, Attachment 1, Part 9)?

Activity 5: Loading and load restraint
Discuss with your supervisor and/or trainer and fellow team
members the methods used to check loads and load restraints.Respond to the following questions with reference to 3 examplesand by checking with the Load Restraint Guide that the securing ofthe loads complies with this guide:
how is the number of restraints determined for the given load?
how is the axle weight load limit checked for the given loads?
how do types of restraints used vary with weight of loads inthe three examples?
how is the balance of the load (side to side and front to rear of
trailer/tray) determined for each load?

Talk to your trainer and the person responsible for insurances in
your workplace and discuss the coverage for the events describedin this section of the Learners Guide (property damage andpersonal injury arising out of fire, explosion, leakage or spillage ofdangerous goods). Find out the following information:
what is the extent of the coverage (amount insured perevent)?
what conditions are put on the insurer covering thesesituations (safety considerations, training of staff, etc)?
under what conditions would the insurer not cover damagesdue to an incident (e.g. load not restrained adequately, etc)?
do you need to report every event where you arrange fortransportation of packaged dangerous goods?
if you do need to report these events, how do you do this?
