We are in need of stricter control and policing measures including heavy penalties for those who contravene Regulations and place others at risk. With the transport, storage and handling of Dangerous Goods comes responsibility and all Companies must implement strict controls, including training and retraining programmes as required by the IMDG Code.
My deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. There are many of these accidents happening all the time, but the enormity of this particular one have left many questions unanswered.
Compliance not only ensures legal security, but also ensures risk and liability security. Stay relevant, stay safe.
