AMSA Dangerous, Hazardous and Harmful Cargoes Handbook
This handbook has been produced as an information resource for those involved in the transport of dangerous goods intended to be shipped by sea. It is also designed as a training text incorporating and updating the DG compendium contained in IMO Model course 1.10. It includes a guide to the training required for each function described in Chapter 1.3 of the IMDG code for this reason (Annex 1 outlines training requirements and relevant handbook sections and other references).
Use of the handbook is not mandatory for training courses seeking AMSA acceptance and other packages may also be considered. However, where a training provider submits a training package to AMSA for acceptance it will be assessed for scope and content against IMO Model course 1.10 and the Handbook as appropriate.
The book costs $25 per copy ($20 per copy for orders of 100 or more) plus GST and postage. For more information, or to place an order, please phone 02 6279 5955 or email: dangerousgoods@amsa.gov.au. The book may also be purchased from any AMSA office (see www.amsa.gov.au/About_AMSA/AMSA_Offices.asp)
