Forthcoming BADGP Events

  • BADGP Webinar: Transport Documentation
    2 December 2025, 13:00 - 14:30 GMT

    • Getting dangerous goods from A to B safely isn't just about packaging and labelling; it also requires the proper paperwork. Transport documents are the backbone of compliance across every mode of transport. They tell the story of your shipment - what it is, how it's packed, and how to handle it safely - ensuring compliant, traceable movement of dangerous goods. With so many rules and ever-changing global standards, even small mistakes can lead to costly delays or fines.

    Join our upcoming webinar to master the essentials of dangerous goods documentation, understand the key differences across transport modes, and learn how to stay compliant - confidently, efficiently, and ready to elevate your DG documentation game.

    The webinar is free of charge for CHCS members, for more information and to register please click on the following link, Mastering Dangerous Goods Documentation Webinar.
