Dangerous Goods Awareness for Logistics Learning Path

Course Overview

The Dangerous Goods Awareness in Logistics Learning Path provides a comprehensive, end-to-end education on the safe identification, classification, and handling of hazardous materials across the supply chain. Beginning with a strong foundation, learners are introduced to the definition of dangerous goods, the risks they present, and the critical importance of proper handling to prevent accidents and security threats. The learning path also explores the historical context behind today’s regulations and offers a clear understanding of how U.S. and international frameworks compare, helping learners navigate the complex and highly regulated environment of dangerous goods transportation.

Building on this foundation, the program delivers practical, job-relevant guidance on regulatory requirements, classification processes, and documentation standards. Learners will gain the skills to determine whether materials are regulated, accurately classify them using hazard classes and divisions, and apply that knowledge to real-world shipping scenarios. The learning path also covers stakeholder responsibilities, training obligations, and the proper completion of a Dangerous Goods Shipper’s Declaration, including certification, documentation requirements, and common compliance pitfalls. Together, these four courses provide a structured and practical approach that empowers professionals to manage dangerous goods shipments confidently and in full compliance with applicable regulations.
