Transportation of dangerous goods: Safe transportation of dangerous goods

The transport of dangerous goods presents a particular challenge in the logistics industry . Dangerous goods are substances that, due to their properties or condition, can cause harm to people, animals, the environment, and property if mishandled or if accidents occur. Strict regulation and precise labeling are therefore essential to ensure safety during transport. In this blog post, we discuss the key aspects of dangerous goods transport , including licensing, labeling, symbols, internal transport procedures, and processes.

Approval for the transport of dangerous goods

Before any dangerous goods can be transported, a permit from the relevant authorities is mandatory. This permit ensures that the company carrying out the transport complies with the necessary regulations and safety standards. The requirements may vary depending on the type of dangerous goods and the means of transport.

Marking and symbols

Correct labeling is crucial for safety during the transport of dangerous goods. Every dangerous good must be marked with special symbols, known as dangerous goods signs , that indicate the type of hazard. These symbols are internationally standardized and allow anyone involved in the transport or handling of dangerous goods to quickly identify the risks. You can purchase dangerous goods stickers for various dangerous goods classes in our online shop .


In-house transport of dangerous goods

The internal transport of hazardous goods also requires careful planning and implementation. This includes measures to secure the load ( load securing ), the use of special transport equipment, and employee training in handling hazardous goods. Labeling with appropriate warning signs and labels is also essential here.

Warning signs and signs

Warning signs and warning boards play a crucial role in the transport of hazardous goods . They inform not only those involved in the transport, but also emergency responders in the event of an accident about the nature of the hazardous goods and the associated risks. These signs and warning boards must be clearly visible on the means of transport.
