Some FAQ
Dangerous Goods (DG) are substances or items that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment due to their chemical, physical, or biological properties. These goods can be flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, or radioactive, among other hazards. DGs are subject to strict regulations during transportation to ensure they are handled, packaged, and shipped safely.
The transportation of Dangerous Goods is regulated by international and national laws to ensure safety. Some key regulations include: • ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) for road transport. • IMDG Code (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code) for sea transport. • ICAO-TI (International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions) for air transport. These regulations define the classifications, packaging requirements, labeling, and documentation needed to safely transport DGs.
Dangerous Goods are classified into nine main categories based on the type of risk they pose. These classes include: 1. Explosives 2. Gases 3. Flammable Liquids 4. Flammable Solids 5. Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides 6. Toxins and Infectious Substances 7. Radioactive Materials 8. Corrosives 9. Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods Each class has specific handling and transportation requirements to minimize the risks associated with that category.
If Dangerous Goods are incorrectly labeled or packaged, they must be corrected immediately to avoid potential hazards. Incorrect labeling or packaging can lead to accidents, delays, or legal penalties. The goods should be inspected and repackaged according to the regulations, with all necessary labels and documentation provided. It’s important to work with certified professionals, such as Dangerous Goods safety advisers or logistics providers, to ensure compliance with all regulations before the shipment proceeds.
