Dangerous Goods Security & High Consequence Dangerous Goods (HCDG)

HCDG Security & Security Plans

Build the knowledge and confidence to manage high-consequence dangerous goods security.

Managing High Consequence Dangerous Goods (HCDG) requires more than general staff awareness. Organisations need people who understand the security risks, the requirements of ADR Chapter 1.10 and how to develop, maintain and apply an effective security plan.

Roadsafe Europe’s HCDG Security & Security Plans course is a focused one-day programme for the managers and responsible persons who lead dangerous goods security within their organisation.
