About this Session
Transport of Dangerous Goods – recent challenges and future advances including electronic dangerous goods
Hosted by Caroline Raine, Technical Director at Ricardo with support from industry, government and trade associations
COVID introduced many challenges for the transport industry including a shortage of drivers as well as the need to consider being a paperless process. This discussion panel will discuss some of those challenges and discuss how we can move forward with technology advances to ensure that we continue to transport dangerous goods safely
