Safe Transports
With a global hazardous-goods and transport-safety management system, we ensure that we minimize or entirely avoid hazards. We coordinate, monitor and review implementation of relevant hazardous-goods and transport-safety regulations as well as in-house regulations centrally in a department that is specifically responsible for this.
Central classification of our products in line with international, regional and local hazardous-goods regulations ensures that applicable laws are interpreted uniformly while taking regional and local aspects into account. Classification determines such things as the type of
- containment (packaging and tanks),
- marking and labeling,
- the permitted modes of transport and transportation routes as well as
- measures that operational staff must take if a transportation event occurs.
The corresponding classification data is stored in the central safety-data system for chemicals at LANXESS.
