Requirements for the shipment of dangerous goods
Hazardous materials play a crucial role in our daily lives, although their inherent risks necessitate careful handling and transportation to prevent harm to individuals and the environment.
Most journeys involving hazardous materials include a road segment, with these materials being either transported in tanks or as packages. Specially trained drivers with the appropriate vocational licenses are responsible for operating vehicles that transport hazardous materials via roadways.
In compliance with regulations
Legislation mandates that companies appoint a qualified expert to oversee the proper adherence to all legal requirements pertaining to dangerous goods shipments. This legislation also imposes specific responsibilities on the three key participants involved in such shipments:
1. The consignor – The organization responsible for sending the hazardous materials
2. The carrier – The individuals or company tasked with transporting the dangerous goods
3. The consignee – The entity designated to receive the hazardous materials
