Dangerous & Hazardous Goods Transfer

The safe carriage of dangerous and hazardous goods in packages depends on appropriate training of all those who perform classification, packaging, labelling and/or marking, documentation, loading, stowage, segregation, and unloading. The failure of any one of these elements to be completed correctly can lead to potentially life-threatening or life-changing consequences.

In-house Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA)

Johnsons are one of the few laboratory companies with our own in-house company Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor’s (DGSA’s). Johnsons DGSA will advise on substance classification including Limited and Exempted Quantities exemptions, on any specific loading, segregation and unloading requirements for your substances including mixed packing provisions, and operating requirements, and can produce a Dangerous Goods Note that must accompany the hazardous goods on their journey. Our DGSA will work with your team to ensure the safe carriage of any dangerous goods and compliance with the detailed requirements laid down in ADR.

Johnsons Laboratory Logistics have a team of in-house experts who are trained in safe recognition, packing, handling and emergency response procedures, such as spill response management, to ensure there are no accidents arising from the movement or transporting of dangerous goods. All of our drivers are ADR certified and trained in all aspects of health and safety.
