VIDEO BOOK

THE IMDG CODE

Volume One of the Code is introduced, showing the scope and coverage of the Code in Parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. (Part 3 is in Volume 2).

Similarly, Volume Two of the Code is introduced. This contains Part 3 of the Code, two Appendices and the Index of Dangerous Goods. The new Supplement to the IMDG Code, which contains the Emergency Procedures and the new Medical First Aid Guide, is introduced. The Supplement also contains Reporting Procedures, Packing Cargo Transport Units, the Safe Use of Pesticides in Ships and the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Packaged Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, Plutonium and high level radioactive wastes.

Finally there is an Appendix with Resolutions and Circulars referred to in the IMDG Code. The video then takes the trainee through each stage of use of the new volumes from shipper, shipping company and ship's staff, illustrating the position of the relevant data in each case. The critical new concept is the use of the UN number of the cargo which leads the user to the List of Dangerous Goods and all the requirements relating to that cargo.
