A person who drives, loads and unloads a vehicle transporting packaged dangerous goods does not have to be an approved handler if they have a dangerous goods endorsement on their drivers licence.
(This does not apply to transport of explosives or dangerous goods in bulk (see the ‘Hazardous Substances (Dangerous Goods and Scheduled Toxic Substances) Transfer Notice 2004, as amended, published in the New Zealand Gazette) – reference from Ministry of Transport – Transporting Dangerous Goods Safely, An Industry guide, October 2008. An example of this is your forklift driver working in the warehouse unloading/loading trucks.)
