Dangerous Goods Transport – Velogo Logistics
Transporting dangerous goods requires much more than just a truck and a driver — it requires expert knowledge and understanding, licensing, adherence to the Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code, as well as an unwavering commitment to safety.
At Velogo Logistics, we are experts at implementing safe and compliant methods of transporting hazardous materials right across Australia.
From flammable liquids to corrosives, gases, and medical chemicals, we ensure every consignment is treated with the highest level of duty of care, documentation, and risk management.
What are Dangerous Goods?
Dangerous goods are substances or items that can pose risks to people, property, or the environment during transport, and therefore must follow strict legal requirements.
Some examples include:
- Flammable liquids & gases
- Corrosives & oxidisers
- Toxic & infectious
- Explosive materials and reactive chemicals
- Radioactive materials (low-level where accepted)
Dangerous goods require special and correct packaging and maybe placarding, as well as a means of confirming the compliance of your transportation regarding the transport legislation.
