The transport of containers for ADR Class 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 9 dangerous goods is subject to complex legislation that requires constant attention.
Here are some important considerations for the transport of hazardous containers:
- Know the regulations: these regulations are generally set by governments and may vary depending on the type of goods and the mode of transport used.
- Selecting the right container: Containers must meet standards and be in good condition.
- Proper packaging: Hazardous goods must be properly packaged and labelled for safe transport.
- Training and qualification of personnel: People involved in the transport of hazardous containers should be trained and qualified to deal with emergency situations and meet safety standards.
- Monitoring transport conditions: Transport conditions must be continuously monitored to detect any potential problems.
