Dangerous Goods Transport Regulations
Transport of dangerous goods is regulated in order to prevent, as far as possible, accidents to persons or property and damage to the environment, the means of transport employed or to other goods. However, with different regulations in every country and for different modes of transport, international trade in chemicals and dangerous products would be seriously impeded, if not made impossible and unsafe. Moreover, transport of dangerous goods are also subject to other kinds of regulations, e.g. work safety regulations, consumer protection regulations, storage regulations, web, environment protection regulations.
In order to ensure consistency between all these regulatory systems, bodies such as the United Nations have developed mechanisms for the harmonization of dangerous goods transport classification criteria and hazard communication tools as well as for transport conditions for all modes for transport . In addition, the United Nations administers regional agreements that ensure the effective implementation of these mechanisms as far as transport of dangerous goods and freight by road, rail and inland waterways is concerned.
I am employeed as a Principal Licensing Officer at the Road Transport and Safety Agency in Zambia, it is sad to note that our country has no explicity regulation to govern transportation of dangerous goods by road. The Road Transport and Safety Agency is aN Agency of Government under the Ministry of Transport that was established under an Act of Parlaiment in 2002 to, among other things, implement policy on road transport and road safety. It is currently however pursueing the need to establish the ideal regulations in Road Transport and Safety. Your site seems to be intereting for sharing of information on the subject matter.

I think that it’s great that we have precationary actions against dangerous transportation on public roads. It’s one thing if companies are transporting on their own property, but if my family were on that road I’d want to know they were safe from those types of dangers. Is this a new regulation?
