DANGEROUS GOODS
The premier documentation provider in my professional opinion
[paper and digital] for the Dangerous Goods Supply Chain is
without doubt o are always on hand to assist
logistics organisations comply with documentation regulations.
Labeline can provide all the reference materials, stationery and
books, including digital resources.
For Warehousing of Dangerous Goods – there are help guides
available from the Health and Safety Executive [HSE] regarding
documentation requirements in terms of compliance and caremust
be taken to see if the products and quantities bring the organisation
into the Control of Major Accident Hazards [COMAH] regulations.
The documentation requirements for warehousing under COMAH
regulations are naturally more comprehensive than below COMAH
thresholds.
Security – As we live in what the Chinese have termed ‘interesting
times’, ADR has a requirement for a written security plan and
additional factors for driver training, when it comes to what is
termed High Consequence Dangerous Goods [HCDG]. ADR security
regulations for HCDG, aremost critical for Class 7 Radioactive, Class
1 Explosive and Class 6.2 Biologically Infectious. For other classes,
most HCDG are for bulk movements as defined in receptacle size
greater than 3,000 litres. However, Class 2.3 [Toxic Gases] and Class
6.1 [Toxic] of PG I in packages do bring the logistics supplier under
the security aegis of ADR, as they are indeed High Consequence
Dangerous Goods.
