If you want to transport dangerous goods there are several rules on how to package and label these items. You must also have a dangerous goods safety adviser when transporting dangerous goods. Dangerous goods are seperated into different categories and differ on how you must label and package the items. If you are only transporting limited quantities the rules won't be as strict. The classes range from one to nine; some of these include toxic substances and radioactive material. If you are carrying any clinical waste you must be registered as a waste carrier. The Vehicle Certification Agency is the UK authority for the packaging of dangerous goods. Before ordering packaging you must make sure the supplier sends you a copy of the certificate, datasheets on how to use the packaging and any test reports. If you are transporting dangerous goods by air you must be specially trained.
