Transport of Dangerous Goods
Any goods that pose a risk to people, property and the environment are classified as dangerous goods and are assigned to different classes ranging from 1 to 9. These types of goods can range from those which are highly dangerous to everyday products such as paints, solvents and pesticides found in the home and at work. When transported these goods need to be packaged correctly as laid out in the various international and national regulations for each mode of transport to ensure that they are carried safely to minimise the risk of an incident.

The best way to ship dangerous goods is to hire a professional transportation company, which provides quality transport services. This does cost more than a regular transport, but it’s also waaay safer! Best, tobias (transportation and logisitcs student)
