Transport of dangerous materials

In modern world many materials and products are constantly transported from place to place, depending on where they are needed. It also includes materials dangerous for human health or life. In case of this type of transport it is really important for it to be safe as well for the driver and everyone nearby trasported materials. Specially for this purpose, standards have been created specifying the conditions in which a given goods should be transported, as well as what rules must be followed by shipping companies engaged in such services.

Also in our business, customers ask about the possibility of transporting such dangerous materials. That is why we decided to extend our offer to include this type of transport. Thanks to this decision, our company has specialized in, among others, the transport of dangerous materials. This is an important and responsible activity that is based on an international agreement on the carriage of goods by road that are considered dangerous (ADR).

It is worth knowing that each country has regulations regarding the transport of such materials. In the case of international forwarding, each transport company is obliged to comply with the ADR agreement, consisting of the relevant agreement and annexes. Such a document defines inter-state legal relations. In turn, the annexes regulate in detail all conditions of transport of individual dangerous materials.

Annex A divides all dangerous goods produced worldwide into 13 hazard classes and their specifications. For example, class 1 specifies explosives and objects, and class 2 – gases. However, Annex B specifies such parameters as: additional equipment of transport units, requirements for the entire vehicle crew and persons involved in the transport or special requirements for the vehicle itself. As you can see the whole process must follow strict rules.

Each route must be planned in detail by the logistics department, in this case road restrictions are an additional difficulty. Not all ADR transport can pass through everywhere. On the roads, you can often find signs that can, for example, prohibit the entry of vehicles that carry materials that threaten human life. Thanks to our extensive experience in this field, we plan such routes easily to transport the transported goods as safely as possible and in the shortest possible time.
