Hazardous Goods

Which environmental protection activities do the standards and regulations require of your company?

Whether you are constantly handling water hazardous or flammable media, or just want to be equipped for an emergency: the legislation on hazardous goods handling is very clear in relation to the requirements placed on equipment needed in the workshop.

What is important for you is, for example, the Hazardous Good Directive applicable in Germany. You can also obtain an overview in our information on regulation compliant storage of hazardous materials.

Even when the size of your company, or the number of hazardous goods you handle, don't really require professional hazardous goods management, as an employer, you are still obliged to introduce measures to ensure industrial safety and environmental protection. These include, for example:

• Obligation to perform a hazard analysis


• Obligation to provide labels for hazardous goods and warning signs


• Obligation to provide information and instructions for employees


• Obligation to keep records about adequate disposal, etc.
