Webinar: Dangerous Goods Special Provisions - Road, Air & Sea
21st April 2026

Have you had your shipment derailed at the acceptance stage due to an extra requirement you didn’t realise was there? Is there something extra that could make it more straightforward for you to ship dangerous goods?

Keeping pace with ever evolving dangerous goods regulations is essential for ensuring safety, compliance, and smooth global movement of goods. In this focused one hour session, our experts will break down the key Special Provisions across ADR (road), IATA (air), and IMDG (sea)—clarifying where they align, where they differ, and how they impact your day to day operations.

You’ll gain practical insights into:

How Special Provisions modify or exempt standard requirements

• Common pitfalls and how to avoid regulatory misunderstandings
• Real world examples across multimodal transport
• Tips for ensuring compliance while improving operational efficiency

Whether you're new to dangerous goods or looking for a concise refresher, this webinar will equip you with the clarity and confidence needed to navigate multimodal Special Provisions with ease.
