What are Dangerous Goods?
Dangerous goods are materials or items with hazardous properties which, if not properly controlled, present a potential hazard to human health and safety, infrastructure and/ or their means of transport.
The transportation of dangerous goods is controlled and governed by a variety of different regulatory regimes, operating at both the national and international levels.
Prominent regulatory frameworks for the transportation of dangerous goods include the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, ICAO's Technical Instructions, IATA's Dangerous Goods Regulations, European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and the IMDG's International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code.
Collectively, these regulatory regimes mandate the means by which dangerous goods are to be handled, packaged, labelled and transported.
Regulatory frameworks incorporate comprehensive classification systems of hazards to provide a taxonomy of dangerous goods. Classification of dangerous goods is broken down into nine classes according to the type of danger materials or items present.
What is ADR?
ADR has been in force since 1968 and is administered by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).It is updated every 2 years to take account of technological advances. Annex A to ADR sets out the requirements for classifying, packaging, labelling and certifying dangerous goods. Vehicles carrying dangerous goods must comply with Annex B to ADR, which includes vehicle and tank specifications and other operational requirements.
Moving dangerous goods by road is governed by international regulations and is strictly policed. Most European countries are signed up to ADR. Each country that complies with ADR implements specific safety measures through its own national legislation.
All drivers of vehicles carrying dangerous goods must attend an approved basic training course and obtain the ADR training certificate. These courses equip drivers with information and tools so that they:
- are aware of the hazards in the carriage of dangerous goods.
- can take steps to reduce the likelihood of an incident taking place.
- can take all necessary measures for their own safety and that of the public and the environment to limit the effects of any incident that does occur.
- have individual practical experience of the actions they will need to take.
