OUR ESSENTIAL PROGRAMME CURRICULUM
What’s Featured in Our Powder Tanker Transport Training?

Introduction to driver and cargo safety
This is an introductory course that creates awareness about driver, cargo, and other road user safety. We train drivers about the potential dangers of the cargo and what they may have to manage. These include risks such as manual handling of powder tankers, working at high heights, navigating routes, and more.
Regulatory compliance
At Colwell, we are determined to ensure drivers also comply with the legal requirements set by the DfT, HSE, and other regulatory bodies. Our legal compliance training includes HGV checks, observing the content weight limits, driving hours, stress and fatigue, and handling defective vehicles.
