Cargo Yards, Sheds and Dangerous Goods Awareness
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
It is 02:00 in the container yard at Sagar Point. The stacks stand four containers high. Huge machines move between them. Their drivers sit high up and cannot see a person close by. On one container you see a red diamond label with a flame. Further on, liquid drips from a door.
Focus: the yard belongs to the machines. You enter only with permission. Know the nine danger labels by sight. If something leaks, smokes or smells: keep away, keep others away, and report.
