General
The Transport of Dangerous Substances Act (WVGS) consists of a number of regulations.
These regulations include the European regulations. These are the ADR for road transport, the ADN for inland waterway transport and the RID for rail transport.
The WVGS and the Occupational Health and Safety Act require that a company that offers dangerous substances or loads/unloads them, leaves them in a means of transport, transports them or temporarily stores them for further transports, the people are trained.
This applies to all personnel who have a task somewhere along the line.
This applies to both national and international transport.
