Industries dealing with hazardous goods, such as fine chemicals, require precise and careful handling at all stages of the logistics process. The safety and integrity of these goods are essential for preserving their quality and ensuring protection of human health and the environment.

In this context, it is necessary for companies in the fine chemicals sector to strictly adhere to national and international regulations related to the transport, storage, and distribution of dangerous goods. There are a number of guidelines and tips that can help organizations in this task.

• Regulatory knowledge and compliance: It is important to be familiar with the regulations established for the transport of hazardous goods by the national authorities in the countries we operate in and also by supranational bodies such as the European Union. The ADR regulations (Agreement on the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) are especially relevant for land transport and must be strictly adhered to.
• Identification and classification: Hazardous goods are classified into various categories and classes according to their properties. They must be rigorously labelled and packaged to ensure the correct identification and classification of the products to comply with regulations.
• Safe storage: In the logistics process, maintaining high safety standards in warehouses is essential, taking into account factors such as temperature, ventilation, and adequate separation between different classes of hazardous goods.
• Detailed documentation: In addition to the aforementioned labelling, the documentation required for the transport of dangerous goods, including the route, the corresponding certificates and emergency contact information, must also be enclosed with the goods.
• Staff training: People transporting, handling or storing the goods must be adequately trained to ensure compliance with safety protocols.
