Any company that deals with dangerous goods or hazardous materials, even occasionally, understands the serious and complicated nature of the task. There are thousands of regulations governing the shipment of dangerous goods by air, water, or land, and these regulations are constantly evolving to ensure the safety of the public, the environment, and the supply chain.
Regulatory Complexity and Safety
Incorrect packing or labeling of hazardous materials can lead to serious consequences, including injuries or deaths. Compliance with these stringent requirements is crucial to avoid hefty fines and ensure safe handling and transport.
