We would like to share some exciting news with you!

Our symposium paper, titled „Proper Labeling for Safe Transportation“, will be presented by Mischa Feig, CEO and Founder of BOXLAB Services. This paper will address a number of important questions that companies face when dealing with dangerous goods:

Challenges for the individual modes of transport:

Each mode of transport has its own requirements and special features with regard to the labeling of dangerous goods. We will shed light on the specific challenges that can arise in road, rail, air and sea transport and how these can best be addressed.

Compliance with regulations:

Compliance with the relevant rules and regulations is crucial for the safe transportation of dangerous goods. Our symposium contribution will show which regulations must be observed in order to ensure safe transportation.

Training by dangerous goods consultants:

Sound employee training is a key factor in the safe handling of dangerous goods. We will discuss how dangerous goods advisors can best train their customers on proper labeling to minimize risks and prevent accidents.

Solutions for practical problems:

In practice, various problems can arise that make the safe transportation of dangerous goods more difficult. Our symposium contribution will shed light on specific practical problems and demonstrate effective solutions to overcome these challenges.

Correct labeling for safe transport

TO THE EVENT

Umbrella term dangerous goods

In the field of transport and logistics, dangerous goods are substances, preparations and objects that contain ingredients which, due to their nature or properties - whether physical or chemical - or their condition during transport, may pose certain risks to public safety or order, in particular to the general public, important public goods, human life and health, animals and property, and which are to be classified as dangerous goods by law.

Placards in large print

Placards are square, diamond-shaped stickers for transporting dangerous goods and are attached standing on their tips. The colour and number of the hazard label usually indicates the class of dangerous goods. Placards are used to mark dangerous goods on trucks. For example, the colour and the pictogram provide rescue workers with information at first glance about the expected dangers at the accident site. Placards are subject to strict legal requirements that must be strictly adhered to when printing and affixing them.
