Dangerous goods advice- UK regs and ADR

Hi Dave…i answered your thread putting on a shirt, eating boiled egg & toast and halfway out the door this morning…apologies! :smiley:

What you replied in your thread was my understanding & might i add, that of my ADR instructor (i’m halfway through my course just now) so i reckoned the guy was a bit of a blowhard to start with.

I also told a guy who works in our office (with haz packages etc) about what he said his reply was “He’s a balloon…he has his own set of rules in his head until we keep him right”

It has learned me not to listen to “the bloke in the yard” and taught me that finding out the info required from the proper channels is always the best & correct course of action-and in this instance, many thanks go to you Dave for providing the proper insight.

Having said all that, can i safely assume the following?-

  1. Limited quantities are alive and well

  2. The 1000kg, 333 Kg and 20 Kg load limit still apply (ps…does ppe, spill kits etc apply here?)

  3. Anything above those limits require full ADR, VTC PPE Etc

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge! :slight_smile:

pps…i never saw that blowhard guy today…i think he’s probably too hard headed to listen to anything other than his interpretation…
