Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) refers to the movement of items that can pose risks to health, safety, property, or the environment. These goods include materials like chemicals, explosives, and radioactive substances. Regulations are in place to ensure that these items are handled, packaged, and transported safely to prevent accidents and harm.
To manage the risks associated with TDG, various organizations, such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and United Nations (UN), provide guidelines and classifications. Proper labeling, documentation, and training for personnel involved in the transport process are essential to maintain safety and compliance with legal requirements.
