The need for Dangerous Goods Training  has increased significantly over the years, which in turn has increased the risks to Humans and the Natural Environment. There seems to be a growing need for Diesel Transport, Petrol Transport and the transportation of other hazardous substances.

Another aspect of the increase in Dangerous Goods in our society is that the requirements for Handling and Storage of Dangerous Goods had to be looked at and specific controls put in place to protect people in the workplace as well as the environment.
