Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)
Dangerous goods are items and substances which are either prohibited or can be transported only under certain circumstances according to specific regulations.
With today’s increasing awareness of safety, security and environmental challenges, road transport operators and drivers must comply with existing and anticipated regulations. They also need to be familiar with the latest technologies and standards that address these key issues.
