Dangerous Goods Training Advisory Panel
The Dangerous Goods Division supports the existence of a Dangerous Goods Training Advisory Panel (TAP). The panel is open to experts nominated by the UK industry trade associations, other independent UK experts, training providers, and officials from the Department and its agencies, the Health and Safety Executive and other interested parties. Other Government Department officials may attend as necessary.
The role of TAP is to advise Dangerous Goods Division on future training requirements and developments, in particular the dangerous goods driver training and safety advisor requirements, including the syllabuses for the training and examination requirements for obtaining vocational training certificates.
The members of TAP elect the Chairman and Secretary. The posts are currently held by Robert Thomas and Les Richings respectively.
The Department hosts the twice-yearly meetings of TAP.
Further information on the work of the TAP such as the dates of future meetings and/or copies of recent meeting papers may be obtained by contacting dangerousgoods@dft.gsi.gov.uk.
