Executive Summary

The scale and scope of dangerous goods moving through global supply chains are increasing. In turn, the regulations that govern their transport, storage and handling are becoming tighter and more prescriptive. This is leading organizations to be overwhelmed by safety and compliance risks. The task of ensuring dangerous goods logistics compliance and safety is complicated by numerous interdependent factors, such as the modes of transport, the regulatory jurisdictions in which operations take place, the competency of involved personnel and the interaction of dangerous goods with other inventory types. This report provides practitioners with guidance on navigating the regulatory nuances of dangerous goods logistics. It also explores how firms can leverage digital technologies to streamline compliance processes and ensure safe, efficient management of supply chain activities.
