Dangerous goods road transport in South Africa

Requirements for the shipment of dangerous goods

Dangerous goods transport in South Africa is an important service that ensures hazardous material is handled, stored, and transported safely and legally. While dangerous goods form part of modern life, they are able to result in harm to humans and the environment if not controlled appropriately.

In compliance with regulations

Stringent dangerous goods regulations in South Africa govern every aspect of the process. It's not optional - companies are lawfully obligated to appoint a professional to assist in ensuring all dangerous goods regulatory requirements are met.

The legislation places explicit obligations on the three main parties involved in a shipment: 

• The consignor - the company that dispatches the dangerous goods
• The carrier - those who transport the dangerous goods
• The consignee - the firm which receives delivery of the dangerous goods
