One is the Logistics Center. The faculty&#8217;s PGS 15 bunker stores some 5,500 kg of packaged hazardous substances, says Logistics Center team leader Ruud Patings: &#8220;It&#8217;s like a library of pharmacy cabinets. There are about 7,000 different substances in circulation at our faculty, where tests for practical education are done. We also have several laboratories where research is done. The Logistics Center makes sure those substances are all stored safely, in different PGS 15 compartments per hazard class.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large is-resized size-medium wp-image-24465\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38915 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/1024;width:auto;height:333px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-688x917.jpg 688w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/IMG_1969-scaled.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some 7,000 different dangerous goods are stored in the PGS 15 bunker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examplary role<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>He continued: &#8220;As a university, we naturally have an exemplary role. It is therefore very important to me that all processes in our bunker are safe and in accordance with the regulations. Also in view of the inspections from the government you want to have your affairs in good order. That is why my colleagues and I started a PGS 15 training at the beginning of last year, at another training institute. Actually, we didn&#8217;t like that very much. My colleague then said, &#8216;If you really want quality, you have to be with &#8216;Miss Jannie&#8217;.&#8221; Miss Jannie? Yes, that&#8217;s teacher Jannie van Vliet-van Peski of Special Cargo College!

You can get that certificate with our <a href=\"https:\/\/specialcargo.nl\/en\/college\/opleidingen\/competence-in-handling-hazardous-materials\/\">Hazardous Materials Handling Competency Training (VBGS<\/a>) course.. However, the situation at RU turned out to be too specific for this classroom training.&#8221; Ruud adds: &#8220;Our storage is of course different from a logistics provider&#8217;s warehouse. More different substances but smaller quantities, always delivered by couriers. And often without a waybill. That&#8217;s why, in consultation with Special Cargo, we decided to organize a tailor-made training course at our location. This also had a very practical reason: in accordance with PGS 15, we are not all allowed to leave here at the same time to go to a Special Cargo training location. And what was also nice: when Jannie came to us for the first time, she could immediately assess whether our storage is safe and compliant. Fortunately, she found that we had it right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No unnecessary ballast<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>&#8220;Such custom training is not a problem at Special Cargo,&#8221; says Jannie. &#8220;We come to companies&#8217; homes just as easily, for <a href=\"https:\/\/specialcargo.nl\/en\/college\/incompany-and-customized-solutions\/\">in-company or customized training<\/a>. Of course, that has even more advantages for the organization: we can tailor the training one hundred percent to the situation and needs of that particular client.&#8221; No sooner said than done. After the initial visit to RU, Jannie set to work developing the customized training. She did so based on the VBGS course. As with this training, it was four class days including a practice day Calamity Response. &#8220;On this day the participants practiced with their own, specific scenarios. So without the &#8216;unnecessary ballast&#8217; from the VBGS training,&#8221; Jannie explains.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p><em>&#8220;With customized training like this, RU employees meet the PGS 15 requirement of expert training, but in a piece of customized training.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Statement of Competence<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>In the end, thirteen people took the course. In addition to three participants from the Logistics Center, 10 other RU employees attended. Following the training, participants took the accompanying exam, which was also specially prepared by Special Cargo, tailored to work at RU. &#8220;This exam is equivalent to the CBR&#8217;s VBGS exam. And also with us, as a participant, you must have a minimum of eighty percent correct to obtain the certificate. This certificate, titled &#8216;Expert Competence Statement under 3.14 PGS 15,&#8217; is valid for five years just like the CBR certificate.&#8221; And did everyone actually obtain the certificate? &#8220;Yes indeed,&#8221; says Ruud. &#8220;One colleague had to retake the exam &#8211; which was quite tough anyway &#8211; but in the end everyone passed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beautiful experience<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>He continued: &#8220;All in all, the training went very well.

What we should and especially what we shouldn&#8217;t do.&#8221; The training was also a great experience for Jannie: &#8220;A customized training like this is always special, because every storage situation is different. At RU, it was especially the very mixed company that made it fun and diverse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PGS 15 New Style<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>Late last year, the PGS organization <a href=\"https:\/\/specialcargo.nl\/en\/blog\/pgs-15-new-style-available-for-comment\/\">published the draft of the revised<\/a> New Style PGS 15 guideline. In this revised guideline, the proficiency requirement of Regulation 3.14 (see below) has been moved to measure &#8220;M83. Thus, this requirement certainly remains in effect, even for non-logistical stores such as laboratories, universities and hospitals. The final version of the new guideline is expected to be released in the fall of this year. When it will actually take effect is not yet clear. Currently, the interim version 1.0 of PGS 15, from 2021, is in effect &#8211; since the Environment Act took effect on Jan. 1 of this year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large is-resized wp-image-24460\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"501\" data-src=\"https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Vakbekwaamheid-als-verplichting-in-de-PGS-15-1024x501.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38920 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/501;width:auto;height:333px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Vakbekwaamheid-als-verplichting-in-de-PGS-15-1024x501.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Vakbekwaamheid-als-verplichting-in-de-PGS-15-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Vakbekwaamheid-als-verplichting-in-de-PGS-15-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Vakbekwaamheid-als-verplichting-in-de-PGS-15-688x337.jpg 688w, https:\/\/college.specialcargo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/Vakbekwaamheid-als-verplichting-in-de-PGS-15.jpg 1159w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Professional competence as an obligation in the PGS 15<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/heading\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safe feeling<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container \" data-type=\"core\/paragraph\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8\"> \n<p>&#8220;With customized training like this, we ensure that companies (in this case RU) can meet the PGS 15 requirement of expert training, but in a piece of customized training.
