Drivers are required to be qualified, and hold the certificate for, the relevant modules for the goods they will be transporting. These modules are Core, Packages, Tanks, Classes 1 – 9.

 

In this article we will discuss the Class 7: Radioactive Material module.

What is the Class 7: Radioactive Material module


When transporting dangerous goods that are primarily classified as Class 7: Radioactive Material, drivers are required to hold an ADR certificate that includes the Class 7 module.

 

The Class 7 module gives drivers an understanding of the different dangers each type of Class 7 possesses.

 

The Class 7 module includes:

  • Specific risks related to ionising radiation
  • Specific requirements concerning packing, handling, mixed loading and stowage of radioactive materials
  • The special measures to be taken in the event of an accident involving a vehicle carrying radioactive materials
  • The safe and correct stowage of a variety of packages containing radioactive materials in a vehicle body

 

The full syllabus and more details can be found in the ADR Course Guide.

Do I need the Class 7: Radioactive Material module


The Class 7: Radioactive Material module must be passed by drivers who transport goods classified as Class 7 in ADR. These can include items such as depleted uranium.

 

In order to obtain the ADR certificate, at least one Class module must be taken.
