Key Safety Considerations and Characteristics of Dangerous Goods Transportation
Dangerous goods transportation refers to the handling and movement of substances with properties such as corrosiveness, flammability, self-ignition, and explosiveness, which may pose risks to human safety and property during transport, loading/unloading, and storage.
These types of cargo have the following characteristics:
1. Wide variety of dangerous goods
- Based on their properties, dangerous goods are classified into nine categories, covering a wide range of specific hazardous cargo.
- Currently, there are 2,763 recognized dangerous goods items, each with distinct physical and chemical characteristics that require special attention and handling.
2. High level of risk
- Dangerous goods have special physical and chemical properties, and without proper protection and controls during transportation, they may cause serious accidents.
- For example, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is highly flammable and explosive, making its transportation inherently risky and susceptible to incidents such as fires and explosions.
3. Extensive regulations and strict compliance requirements
- Dangerous goods transportation is governed by numerous regulations and standards, requiring companies to strictly comply with rules at all administrative levels.

4. High level of specialization
- Dangerous goods transportation not only needs to meet the general requirements for cargo transport, but must also take into account the specific physical and chemical properties of each type of dangerous cargo.
- Every stage of the process demands a high degree of professionalism and technical expertise to ensure safety, compliance, and risk control during transport.
