What Dangerous Goods Training Is Available at Wetherill Park?

Kells Safety Centre’s Wetherill Park facility offers the full range of transport safety and dangerous goods training relevant to NSW drivers, warehouse workers, and logistics operators.

Dangerous Goods Licence Course (TLILIC0001)

The core qualification for drivers transporting placard loads of dangerous goods by road in NSW. The TLILIC0001 course is delivered over 2 days face-to-face at the Wetherill Park training centre, running from 7:15am to 3:30pm each day. The course fee of $618 includes the NSW EPA licence application, document submission, and EPA processing fee — everything is handled by Kells.

Dangerous Goods Awareness Course

For workers who handle, store, or work near dangerous goods but are not transport drivers. The DG Awareness course is suitable for warehouse staff, depot workers, and anyone in proximity to DG operations who needs to understand classification, labelling, and emergency procedures without requiring a full transport licence.

Prepare for Transport of Dangerous Goods

Covers DG consignment preparation — classification, documentation, packaging, labelling, and placarding for transport. The Prepare for Transport course is designed for consignors, freight forwarders, and operations staff responsible for preparing DG consignments.

Store and Handle Dangerous Goods

For warehouse and depot staff responsible for DG storage, segregation, and emergency response. The Store and Handle course covers Safe Work NSW requirements for DG storage facilities and is available at Wetherill Park.

Who Needs a Dangerous Goods Licence in NSW?

Under NSW law administered by the EPA, any driver transporting a placard load of dangerous goods by road must hold a current dangerous goods driver licence issued under the Dangerous Goods (Road and Rail Transport) Act 2008. A placard load is defined by the quantity thresholds in the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code) for each class of dangerous goods.

Common job roles that require a DG licence include:

• Fuel tanker drivers (Class 3 flammable liquids)
• Chemical transport drivers
• LPG and gas cylinder delivery drivers
• Explosives transport drivers (Class 1)
• Drivers transporting Class 6 toxic substances at placard quantities
• Any driver whose regular runs include placard loads of mixed dangerous goods

If you are unsure whether your load requires a licence, the NSW EPA dangerous goods licences page provides the definitive reference for placard quantity thresholds by class.

The TLILIC0001 Course: What to Expect at Wetherill Park

The Kells Safety Centre TLILIC0001 course is structured across two full days and combines classroom instruction with practical application of ADG Code requirements. Here is what the course covers:

• Day 1: Australian Dangerous Goods Code — classification, labelling, placarding, documentation, packaging requirements, segregation rules
• Day 2: Emergency procedures, safe loading and unloading, driver obligations, EPA licence application, practical scenarios and assessment

On completion, Kells Safety Centre submits your EPA licence application directly — including all required documentation and the EPA processing fee. Your DG licence is issued by the NSW EPA and posted to you. Drivers do not need to deal with the EPA separately.
