2016 starts off with a bang!

Happy New Year! Let's hope it will be one with less incidence and more training, compliance and awareness.

The new year have started off with yet another huge chemical fire at one of Brazil's busiest Ports. Not only does this impact the environment severely, but impedes trade and ultimately affects the local economy. It's always a lose/lose situation. An avoidable one if the necessary rules are complied with.

If you've attended my classes, you will remember my training: Compliance with the Regulations do not only help to ensure the free movement of dangerous goods, but also the free movement of all goods where dangerous goods share a common storage and shipping environment. This is a prime example in the Santos fire. 

From myself, I want to wish everyone the very best for 2016!



Here is the news article on the Santos fire:
