Safety in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Safety in the transportation of dangerous goods is extremely important to ensure the protection of people, the environment, and the goods involved.
To achieve this goal, it is essential to count on the collaboration and knowledge of several specialized professionals. Safety advisors in the freight, logistics, forwarding, chemical, petrochemical, and waste management industries, ports, airports, trainers, shipowners, and handling companies play a key role in identifying the risks associated with dangerous goods, drawing up contingency plans, implementing preventive measures, evaluating safe routes, selecting appropriate packaging and containers for transportation, and supervising documents and training those involved.?
Cooperation between these different stakeholders is crucial to ensure effective accident prevention, to minimize accidents from leaks, explosions or fires, and, if an incident has been caused, to ensure a quick and efficient response.
