| Abstract |
Dangerous goods such as explosive, flammable or corrosive substances have inherent hazards. There is a risk that incidents involving these hazards may cause harm to people, property and the environment by explosion, fire or spillage. This booklet is intended as a guide to help enterprises determine whether the incoming or outgoing transport of dangerous goods fall under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004 (Carriage Regulations) or the European Commission Directive on the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road 2003 (ADR 2003). It does not cover carriage of dangerous goods by rail or by inland waterways, nor the carriage of radioactive materials or transportable pressure equipment. |
