Dangerous goods safety adviser
According to the rules, companies who transport dangerous goods must appoint a dangerous goods safety adviser. Carriage includes the actual transport from A to B as well as preparation and completion activities. Therefore, this applies not only to freight forwarders and haulage contractors but also to companies that classify, issue accompanying documents, package and label, fill and empty tanks, load goods, transport, unload and receive.
WEIGEL supports you in these sectors: road traffic (ADR), rail traffic (RID), inland waterway traffic (ADN), sea traffic (IMDG Code) and air traffic (ICAO T.I./IATA DGR).
More and more companies are turning to external dangerous goods support in order to benefit from the many advantages that they can provide:
- independent advice without internal influence,
- new ideas,
- reasonable fixed costs instead of high personnel expenses,
- competence through many years’ experience,
- avoidance of negative image and fines,
- preservation of internal human resources that can be used for other professionally relevant projects,
