As readers will agree, there is no room for error in logistics for the chemistry sector. Dachser Chem-Logistics has as its prime objective the safe and secure handling of all goods in its care; the team are dedicated completely to this goal. Safety is the highest priority. The transportation of dangerous goods is governed by stringent legal requirements and regulations.
Since chemicals are at the beginning of the value chain for many products in different industries, the demand is correspondingly high – and so are the transportation volumes on roads, in maritime containers or on-board aircraft. This also includes professional handling of dangerous goods. Logistics professionals must ensure the safety of people, the environment and material goods with comprehensive protective measures throughout all transport phases. That means, in addition to sound know-how, excellent knowledge of the industry is required for the transport and storage of chemical goods.
For this reason, Dachser relies only on its own employees, who are trained in the handling of chemical goods. The principles for safety, quality, health and environmental protection formulated by Dachser in the company guidelines far exceed the applicable legal requirements.
Our employees pay particular attention to proper load securing. A central in-house dangerous goods safety advisor, as well as over a hundred and forty regional dangerous goods specialists in the branches, monitor compliance with all national and international statutory provisions in addition to the Dachser dangerous goods guidelines. Together they are responsible for the transportation of in access of 2.8 million deliveries of dangerous goods per year. The Dachser network also maintains numerous hazardous materials storage sites, which are at the disposal of customers and form an integral part of the Chem-Logistics supply chain solution, individualized when necessary to include Contract Logistics services.
