Let’s Stay Safe with Dangerous Goods

Hello friend! Do you know some things we carry on trucks or trains can be very dangerous? Things like gas, chemicals, flammable liquids, and batteries can hurt people and nature if something goes wrong. So, we take special safety measures to move these dangerous goods. At CLW GROUP, we know it is very important to keep everyone safe. We help you move dangerous goods the right way. Let me show you how!

What Are Dangerous Goods?

Dangerous goods are also called hazmat. They can explode, catch fire, leak, spill, or poison someone. The law says we must handle them with care. There are many kinds:

  • Gases (like in big tanks)
  • Flammable liquids (like gasoline)
  • Toxic materials (can harm your health)
  • Corrosive things (can burn skin or metal)
  • Batteries (like lithium batteries)
  • Radioactive things (very special care!)

Each of these has a hazard class. For example:

  • Class 1: Explosives
  • Class 2: Gases
  • Class 3: Flammable Liquids
  • Class 4: Flammable Solids
  • Class 5: Oxidizers and Peroxides
  • Class 6: Toxic and Infectious
  • Class 7: Radioactive
  • Class 8: Corrosives
  • Class 9: Other dangerous stuff
  • Kita gunakan UN Numbers dan Proper Shipping Names to know what we are carrying.

    The Rules Keep Us Safe

    We do not make the rules up. International rules like the IMDG Code, ADR, IATA DGR, dan UN Model Regulations tell us what to do. Each country also has more rules, like US DOT Hazmat. These rules say:

    • How to pack dangerous goods
    • What label or placard to use
    • What document is needed
    • How to train the drivers and helpers

    If we do not follow the rules, we can get big fines or worse, there may be a spill or fire.

    Why Do We Need Special Measures?

    Let’s look at some numbers to see why safety is important.

    Safety FactWhat Happened
    Incidents Each YearAbout 16,000-18,000 hazmat accidents happen in the US yearly.

    What Do We Need to Do? Steps to Stay Safe

    At CLW GROUP, we do not leave safety to luck. Here is what we do:

    1. Know Your Goods

    First, you must classify your goods. Is it a liquid, a gas, a flammable thing, or toxic? Use the UN Numbers and the right Packing Group to know the danger.

    1. Choose the Right Container

    Dangerous goods must go into containers that pass tough tests. We use UN Certified Packaging. We check it with performance testing so it does not leak or break.

    1. Label, Mark, and Placard

    We put bold labels on packages and big placards on trucks or containers. This helps everyone know what is inside. Marking must follow law, like putting the Proper Shipping Name dan UN Number on every package.

    1. Get the Paperwork Ready

    Fill out sheets like the Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD), Shipping Paper, and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Each must be clear and complete. Even a small mistake can cause a big problem.

    1. Train Your Team

    Train everyone—shippers, drivers, packers—to know the rules. They should be ready to act in an emergency. At CLW GROUP, we offer driver training and help with certificates.

    1. Safe Loading and Securement

    We load the goods with care. We use ropes and blocks so nothing moves or spills during travel. We also separate things that cannot go together.

    1. Pick the Right Route and Truck

    Sometimes, we must avoid tunnels, schools, or rivers. We choose strong trucks or containers that pass inspection. Our special trucks are built for these jobs.

    1. Get Ready for Emergencies

    We always have a plan! Each truck carries emergency response guides seperti TREMCARD dan EIP. We also keep spill kits and fire extinguishers on board. Drivers know what to do if trouble comes.

    1. Check and Audit

    We check our work many times. We listen to government checks too. If something is wrong, we fix it fast. At CLW GROUP, audits are part of our system.
