Navigate the complexities of dangerous goods (DG) and cargo shipping with M&P International Freights. Your trusted partner in safe and compliant DG transportation worldwide.
Dangerous goods (DG) refer to substances or items that when you transport via aircraft can put human’s health, the environment, safety, and properties at risk. In most cases, they have hazardous properties that when improperly controlled, can pose hazards to human health and safety and to infrastructures and means of transport.
Various regulatory agencies govern and control the transport of these dangerous goods. In fact, you can see them operating at both national and international levels.
In Singapore, we prioritise safety and security when it comes to importing and exporting dangerous goods. Thus, it is necessary for the agencies in the country to ensure that dangerous goods fully comply with the requirements in terms of handling and managing them.
Among the most commonly imported and exported dangerous goods to and from Singapore that require proper handling and management are the following:
*In the form of revolvers or pistols, firecrackers, and shell casings
**Containing extremely high dosage of specific nutrients
There are certain regulations that you have to be aware of whenever you decide to import or export hazardous goods to and from Singapore.
You may refer to the National Environment Agency (NEA) for more details and for the full list of regulations.
A license control should be obtained by anyone who plans on importing, selling or exporting hazardous goods and substances in Singapore.
To get the license, you need to show proof of safe storage for hazardous goods. The storage location should also be based on an approved location while complying with certain storage requirements.
Get a Transport Approval so you can transport hazardous goods if they exceed the limit set by the Environmental Protection and Management Regulations.
In most cases, the limitations are usually between 0kg if the goods involved are highly toxic chemicals and 1,000kg if it’s for corrosives.
In terms of storing or warehousing the goods, it is crucial to choose a properly sheltered storage area. It should be properly fenced up and come with a lock and key.
Furthermore, it should have most of the safety equipment used today including
There should be a sufficient emergency action plan when it comes to handling the accidental release of chemicals. Moreover, it’s necessary to have emergency equipment in place including
Some examples of dangerous goods that are controlled and governed by various agencies are:
No, the storage provider must have a license issued under the Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA) in order to provide DG warehouse storage services.
