Transport of dangerous goods (ADR)

Safe and Reliable ADR Transport

The transport of substances that require special caution is one of the most responsible tasks in logistics. At JOPR Logistics, we ensure that the transport of dangerous goods (ADR) is carried out completely safely, legally, and without complications. Because this cargo can harm people or the environment if mishandled, we leave nothing to chance.

We organize every transport strictly according to stringent European regulations and the international ADR agreement, ensuring the absolute safety of your cargo from pickup to delivery.

How We Ensure Safe Cargo Preparation and Transport

Dangerous goods require specific handling conditions based on the properties of the substance itself. To ensure that transport proceeds without any risks, we strictly adhere to the following principles:

• Hazard Classification: Dangerous goods are divided into several distinct hazard classes. These include flammable liquids (e.g., fuels or coatings), gases, cleaning agents, paints, or other environmentally hazardous substances. Each class has clear rules on how it must be properly loaded and secured during transit.

• Precise Identification (UN Number): Every dangerous substance is assigned a specific four-digit identifier known as the UN number. This code specifies exactly what the substance is, how it must be handled, and what actions must be taken in an emergency.

• Certified and Safe Packaging: Goods can only be transported in officially approved and tested packaging. This includes dedicated containers, drums, or boxes designed to prevent any leakage or spillage along the way.

Mandatory Requirements for Legal ADR Transport

To ensure the safety of all road users, the rules governing these transports are exceptionally precise. For every shipment, we guarantee compliance with all mandatory conditions:

• Qualified Drivers with ADR Certification: Our drivers handling dangerous goods undergo specialized training and hold a valid ADR driver training certificate. This ensures they are thoroughly familiar with preventive measures and know how to manage such cargo safely.

• Recognizable Orange Plates on Trucks: When a truck carries dangerous goods, it must be marked with orange placards on both the front and rear. These alert other drivers and road authorities that the vehicle is carrying a regulated, specific type of cargo.

• Prescribed Safety Equipment (ADR Kit): Every truck is equipped with a mandatory safety kit in the cabin. This includes fire extinguishers, personal protective equipment (PPE) for the driver (goggles, gloves, protective mask), and emergency response tools in case of a spill or leak.

• Continuous Expert Supervision: To ensure the entire process runs exactly as required by law, our operations are monitored and supervised by a licensed Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA).
