Hazardous or dangerous goods as they are often referred to, are goods that can be termed as potentially harmful to people and other living organisms. These could be explosive goods, flammables, radioactive, allergenic, and toxic goods among others. Businesses have the responsibility to identify and ensure proper handling of such goods through dangerous goods logistics processes.
The various Dangerous Goods Regulations are frequently updated as one might expect with such an important topic. A hazardous goods logistics team will maintain awareness of the latest updates and their practical implications, and require one or more members to be professionally certified to ensure the proper identification and handling of dangerous goods to avoid potential incidents.
In the latest version of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations many items are listed as hazardous including batteries, magnetic components, engine parts, paint, perfume and medical equipment, to name but a few. It is essential that correct identification and handling are ensured to avoid delays and incidents.
Whether you are shipping a sample or replacement part, or a large consignment of goods, expert advice can be invaluable to companies of all sizes. This ensures correct identification of hazardous goods and thereby efficient transportation so that your shipments arrive on time.
A certified professional consultant can help you save time and money from correct preparation of the necessary paperwork to optimising your shipping and clearance arrangements including:
Classification of hazardous goods into one of nine major categories
Identification of the appropriate packaging and labelling requirements
Determining the safest handling procedures
Certification of hazardous goods shipping declarations
Optimising transportation arrangements and costs
Advising on clearance procedures and requirements
Co-ordinating with the relevant logistics and storage providers
And if you are shipping smaller items such as batteries, engine or appliance parts or even perfume as a gift, a Dangerous Goods Capable Courier Service will help ensure your package is delivered door-to-door in the fastest possible time. With the same attention to detail in identifying and classifying your goods into the correct category and completing the paperwork properly ensures smooth progress from collection to clearance to delivery.
Dangerous goods are very sensitive since even minor mistakes can result in harm to person and property. Unless your company employs certified individuals, employing the services of a professional consultant is strongly recommended to ensure your company has fully complied with its responsibilities in this respect.
A certified professional consultant will ensure proper completion of the necessary paperwork with respect to the best route for your shipment and related clearances, and optimize your logistics schedule accordingly.
