ADR work?

Been looking into a ADR contract which we have been offered,<br><br>is there a call for ADR trained drivers at the moment<br><br>Is it worth getting trained up or not?<br>

If it were me i'd sub it out to an ADR driver, and if its less than 10kilos you don't need adr drivers anyway. Is it worth the risk for a one off.

<P>two points.. where do you get 10 kilos from.. and also please find me a course for 250 quid! </P> <P>if i were you i would let the customer deal with the hazmat side,and just use a proper adr driver</P>

ADR is not simple and you will need a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA) by law, cost of this must also be factored in.

Well you can take me literally if you like...it was a guestimate based on what I was told a couple of years back but hey ho, "Speed" I'm sure you know better lol!

I did an ADR 5 years ago. The cost was around £500,and it's 2-3 days. You would need to factor all the time off and costs in to see if it was cost effective for what you do.

Take a chill pill Speed - not flaming you.<br><br>I have done ADR and DGSA qualifications in the past year so am fully conversant with them. I am in no way having a go, just adding to the info you gave.

thats better from JSD...some useful advice instead of someone purely pickin holes in someone elses thread...what is it with some people on here!

Hey Dash i wasn't aiming my rant at you...lol

I'm glad, didn't think I had been too controversial with my first posting :-)<br>

ADR is complex EVEN after you've read thru it all....and it keeps changing which doesn't help.<div>As in my original thread,it might not be worth you doing it for a one off.</div>

I had an email from the HSE and I didn't have time to look through properly,<br>but it would seem that if the sample is less than 50ml/g - and it is packaged correctly, that no special carriage requirements are needed.<br>

ADR Work is very complex , and the under 10kg myth can prove deadly, for instance 10kg of a Class 1 ,explosives,is without doubt a mass destruction of property weapon,so please be very careful,and DO NOT carry ANY goods that you have not checked out with either the ADR regulations or an ADR advisor<br>

Hi,<br>yes I have quoted on it but I can't see the customer wearing it!!<br>Thanks fore the advice!!<br>
