If a forwarder does not handle dangerous goods, what is its exemption status regarding training?

A freight forwarder that does not handle dangerous goods is indeed exempt from specific training requirements related to those commodities. The "Recognition of Undeclared Dangerous Goods" training focuses on identifying and managing commodities that can pose hazards during transport. If a forwarder does not deal with these goods, it does not need to train its staff on this specific aspect.

However, this does not mean the forwarder is entirely exempt from all training. Regulations still exist that require forwarders to provide training on general safety and handling procedures, as well as other compliance requirements in the shipping process. This is crucial because even if a forwarder does not manage dangerous goods, they still need to operate under standard safety regulations and protocols related to general cargo handling.

The other options suggest varying degrees of exemption that do not align with the regulatory framework surrounding training for freight forwarders. Understanding these distinctions is essential for compliance and maintaining safety standards in logistics and shipping operations.
