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.
