• Truck drivers who carry dangerous goods are being offered courses geared to the new legal requirements introduced on 1 July.
TDT Group — which has centres in Essex, Hertfordshire and Kent — runs courses which lead to a City and Guilds examination. Success results in the award of a five-year DOT certificate.
At first the certificates are compulsory for tanker drivers and explosives carriers, but by the end of 1994 all drivers carrying dangerous goods will be required to have taken the exam.
