What is dangerous goods?
Dangerous goods encompass a wide range of materials—from chemicals and gases to flammable liquids and explosive substances. What they all have in common is that they require special care during transport. These may be products used in everyday life, but they are classified as dangerous when transported in large quantities.
In Denmark and the rest of Europe, transport is regulated by the ADR Convention, which ensures that all parties involved adhere to the same safety standards.
What are the requirements for ADR transport?
ADR transport requires that drivers, vehicles, and companies all meet strict handling and safety requirements.
Drivers and vehicles
Our drivers undergo ongoing ADR certification to ensure they are always up to date on the latest safety procedures and handling methods. Our vehicles are specifically approved for this purpose and equipped with the necessary safety equipment. They undergo regular inspections and maintenance to meet current requirements.

Legal requirements and documentation
One of the biggest challenges in the road transport of dangerous goods is documentation. Every shipment must be accompanied by the correct shipping documents, safety data sheets, and transport documents. We ensure that everything is in order so that the transport complies with applicable regulations.
Classification and labeling
The goods must be properly classified and labeled, as errors can lead to both legal and safety issues. Our team will help you gain the necessary understanding of the requirements so that no challenges arise along the way.
Packaging and securing
Proper packaging and physical securing of the cargo are just as important as the documentation. Requirements vary depending on the cargo’s class and volume, and this is an area where even minor errors can have major consequences. We check the packaging, labeling, and securing of every load before it leaves the terminal.
Storage of hazardous materials
The storage of hazardous materials requires specific facilities, labeling, and handling procedures. At H. Daugaard , we H. Daugaard warehouses in the Triangle Region with specially designed sections for precisely this type of cargo. They are certified for the storage of hazardous products in both palletized form and IBC containers, and we can therefore handle the entire process from receipt and storage to onward transport.
Planning and Coordination
We plan every shipment of hazardous materials based on the specific requirements of the cargo. Thorough preparation is essential to ensuring that the shipment proceeds smoothly.
Routes and restrictions
Not all routes are available for dangerous goods. Special rules apply to transport through densely populated areas at certain times, and some types of cargo require specific routes regardless of the destination. Furthermore, regulations vary from country to country, which places additional demands on planning for international shipments. We determine the most suitable route prior to shipment.
Travel time and logistics
We take driving time, rest periods, and weather conditions into account to ensure that the transport goes according to plan. This is particularly important when transporting hazardous materials, as this type of cargo cannot always be stored safely during unscheduled stops.
