The problem studied in this paper focuses on shortages of the diverse approach of professional training of truck drivers in Estonia and studies in details what is its’ impact on specific knowledge and training with regards to dangerous goods transportation. Previous studies have identified that the heterogeneous training of truck drivers is a significant risk factor in the road transportation of dangerous goods. The research aims to assess the possibilities for managing risks in road transportation of dangerous goods through the occupational qualification standard of a truck driver in Estonia. The follow-up study presents a qualitative development research strategy based on the concept of general qualifications system and training system of truck drivers in Estonia. The study is based on primary and secondary data, providing qualitative analysis of interviews and meta-analysis of the results of previous studies. The framework of new study modules is created within the current professional training course of truck drivers based on a designed truck driver’s profile. The validation is carried out by expert interviews. The benchmarking collates the qualification requirements and vocational training for professional drivers in Europe with risks within dangerous goods transportation chain identifies the qualitative relationship between them. The outcome introduces additional study modules into existing truck driver vocational education and training with a methodological approach to improve drivers’ competences. This will be an input for developing the occupational qualification standard of a truck driver in Estonia shortly.
