What is Classed as Dangerous Goods?
Dangerous goods are any materials that risk public health, safety, property, or the environment. They’re grouped into nine classes:
- Explosives
- Gases
- Flammable liquids
- Flammable solids
- Oxidising agents & organic peroxides
- Toxic & infectious substances
- Radioactive substances
- Corrosive substances
- Miscellaneous
Anyone transporting dangerous goods must follow international regulations, carry the correct paperwork, and use vehicles that pass annual inspections. Under ADR, drivers must also complete approved training and be certified to carry these loads.
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.
What our customers say
Let’s Talk Logistics
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:
- Accurate details about what the cargo is
- Emergency instructions in writing
- Means of identification, including photos of every member of the cargo crew
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.
