Dangerous Goods Transportation
FET provide various means for transporting dangerous or hazardous goods.
Goods that present significant risks to the safety of people, property or the environment must be properly controlled and be able to withstand the normal conditions experienced during transport. Dangerous goods transportation regulations seek to ensure these risks are reduced to an acceptable level.

Statutory controls on dangerous goods transportation date back over 200 years and today the rules are
extensive and cover national and international operations by all modes of transport. A broad distinction can be made between the rules that apply to the sender of the goods (consignor responsibilities) and the rules that apply to dangerous goods transportation operators (carriers responsibilities).
Consignors must properly classify, package, mark and label the goods and provide information about the consignment to carriers. Carrier's duties for road transport include vehicle specification, placarding, safety equipment, safe loading, emergency response information and driver training.
