What is Classed as Dangerous Goods?

Dangerous goods can be anything that present a threat to public health, safety, property or the environment. These types of goods are categorised under nine separate classes:

Class One: Explosives
Class Two: Gases
Class Three: Flammable Liquids
Class Four: Flammable Solids
Class Five: Oxidising Agents and Organic Peroxides
Class Six: Toxic and Infectious Substances
Class Seven: Radioactive Substances
Class Eight: Corrosive Substances
Class Nine: Miscellaneous

Anyone providing dangerous goods haulage must follow international regulations and carry appropriate documentation. Vehicles must also be inspected annually to ensure they are fit for purpose. Furthermore, under ADR, drivers carrying dangerous goods must attend an approved training course and receive certification to transport cargo.

About ADR

The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) is a piece of legislation followed and enforced throughout most European countries.

It allows individual nations to implement their own safety legislation without hindering transport across borders. As responsible logistics specialists, we keep ourselves updated with the principles of ADR.

Dangerous Goods Logistics

Dangerous goods shipping requires exceptional care and attention to detail, not to mention organisation skills to ensure all the correct documentation is in hand. Known as a ‘transport document’, paperwork that accompanies the load must contain key information, including:

These details protect the driver and the public, so they know the hazards involved in carrying the dangerous load and what to do in the event of an accident. As a business, KBC Logistics Ltd performs dangerous goods transport with due diligence and professionalism, so you can rest assured your cargo is in the safest possible hands.
