CJC Transport Consultants is now approved for ADR Training

This accreditation allows CJC Transport Consultants to offer
comprehensive courses for HGV and LGV drivers – a legal requirement for anyone
transporting hazardous materials.

CJC Transport Consultants’ recognition as an approved ADR
centre is the latest milestone in its ongoing business growth, following the
opening of its purpose-built training centre at its headquarters in South Denes
Road last year. 

Carl Crysell, Managing Director of CJC Transport Consultants
says, “Securing approved centre status from the DfT to deliver ADR training
shows a level of confidence in our training provision. Participants must pass
an exam to receive their ADR licence, and our accreditation ensures we meet the
national standard for both training and certification.

“Not only does this open our business up to new growth
areas, but it provides an endorsement that we’re working to the best of our
ability to support freight and passenger transport operators.”

Locally, there has been a surge in demand for ADR training
thanks to the expansion of the offshore renewables sector off the East Coast along
with the Enterprise Zone that covers sites in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. As
each training provider has to be approved by the Department for Transport,
there hasn’t been enough providers to meet the demand and individuals have had
to travel to either Norwich or Felixstowe to complete their training.

Adding to the demand is the fact the training is not just
compulsory for lorry drivers. If a business is involved in the transportation
of dangerous or hazardous materials, employees and senior management teams must
also complete the training and pass the ADR exam.

Carl emphasises, “There’s no room for error when dealing
with hazardous substances. Our training covers preventative safety measures,
incident response strategies, and comprehensive health and safety protocols.
It’s about protecting our environment and ensuring everyone is prepared for any
situation.”

As road transport consultants, CJC Transport Consultants work
hard to ensure all clients get the most value out of their training budgets.
With Carl’s help, local businesses can choose which class of dangerous goods
they need their training to focus on, ensuring it remains specific and relevant
to their needs. Carl can also work with HGV drivers to combine their ADR
training with the required CPC Periodic hours – another mandatory training
requirement.

He concludes, “We never forget our role is more than just
training delivery. By investing in the highest standards, we contribute to
ensuring local HGV drivers operate with the best practices and a deep awareness
of road safety. This benefits drivers, businesses, and the entire community.”

Notes to editors

What is ADR training and why is it important?

ADR stands for
“Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises
Dangereuses par Route” and outlines the regulations for the international
transportation of dangerous goods by road. An ADR licence (which remains valid
for five years) is essential for HGV and LGV drivers transporting hazardous
materials, demonstrating their understanding of legal responsibilities and
safety protocols.

Failure to comply
with dangerous goods regulations could result in an unlimited fine or even
imprisonment.
