Specialized knowledge, excellent understanding of industry conditions, and an innovative IT system that provides access to all information about shipments at every stage of the supply chain allow Dachser to ensure the highest level of safety, which is particularly important in the transport of chemical products.
– As part of the Safety and Quality Assessment System (SQAS), we apply an effective and transparent procedure for protecting transported goods that significantly exceeds current legal requirements. Our office staff, warehouse crew, truck drivers, and regional dangerous goods advisors are trained in handling all types of goods in accordance with chemical industry requirements and legal regulations – says Ewelina Staszewska, Business Development Manager for Dachser Chem-Logistics in Poland.
Among the safety measures used by Dachser, both in warehouses and during transport, are the integration of external databases and dangerous goods management programs, container load tracking and regular vehicle inspections, computer-aided control of capacity restrictions, and prohibitions on mixed storage. Dachser employees also ensure proper cargo securing and the correct maintenance of storage areas for hazardous materials.
