The Role of Hazardous Containers in Supply Chain Safety
Hazardous containers, often referred to as hazmat containers, are specialized containers used in logistics and transportation to safely store, handle, and transport hazardous materials. These materials pose potential risks to human health, safety, property, and the environment due to their flammable, explosive, corrosive, toxic, or otherwise dangerous properties. Hazardous containers are designed and built to strict safety standards to prevent leaks, spills, and accidents during the transportation of these dangerous goods.
Hazardous containers are used for transporting a wide range of dangerous goods, including chemicals, gases, explosives, radioactive materials, flammable liquids, and toxic substances. These materials are classified and labeled according to international standards, such as the UN Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
