Under the European Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), all undertakings which involve the transport of dangerous goods by road or related packaging and loading and unloading activities must have a Safety Consultant to assist them in the activities related to the transport of dangerous ADR goods.
The responsible task of the consultant includes numerous activities to mitigate the risks associated with the population, the environment and the different types of property.
The European Agreement on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) was drafted in Geneva in 1957 under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and entered into force in 1968. Subsequently, the international transport of dangerous goods is regulated by amendments to Annexes A and B of the ADR.
According to the agreement, there are different types of dangerous goods.
