With a continuous stream of legislation and the ever growing commercial
and competitive pressures on consignors and transporters of dangerous
substances, ensuring that your business stays compliant with all
of the legislative requirements is becoming increasingly more
difficult.
FTA's unparalleled knowledge and our comprehensive portfolio of dangerous
goods services ensure peace of mind and hassle-free compliance.
FTA's Dangerous Goods Network has been established for professionals dealing with the safe transport of dangerous goods, in particular qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers.
It aims to provide those involved with dangerous goods the very latest on regulatory developments and information and the opportunity for people to share ideas, problems and solutions and develop best practice.
The Network includes:
- Web based discussion board and document library
- Monthly email updates
- A telephone helpline for legal and operational queries
Emergency information in writing - Tremcard service
To enable drivers and emergency services to deal with incidents
involving the carriage of dangerous goods by road, national and
international regulations require dangerous goods vehicles to
have emergency information in writing - Tremcards.
The information must be set out in a prescribed format in a language
the driver can understand and in the language of the countries
of origin, transit and destination.

Member Briefing Note for Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors
Anticipation in Great Britain of 2007 Editions of ADR and RID for Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail
The ADR and RID rules are updated every two years, and therefore the current 2005 editions will be replaced by a new set in 2007. Under the European Union’s ADR and RID Framework Directives, member states of the EU must make consequential amendments to their domestic regulations to implement the changed provisions of ADR and RID when these are updated.
