Course Overview
This course provides an overview of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code and requirements for safely transporting dangerous goods by sea. It covers the classification, packaging, marking, labeling, documentation, stowage, and segregation of regulated materials.
The course also addresses the relationship between the IMDG Code and U.S. Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) administered by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Participants learn how to identify dangerous goods, determine the appropriate hazard classification, select suitable packaging, and prepare shipments for marine transportation.
Proper preparation is essential because dangerous goods may be exposed to vessel movement, vibration, weather, moisture, and other conditions during transportation. Accurate markings and documentation help communicate hazards to carriers, vessel personnel, inspectors, and emergency responders, while proper stowage and segregation help prevent incompatible materials from interacting.
This program is available with English and French closed captions.
