Indian Government is proposing to bring out a ‘Reference Document for Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road’. These Dangerous Goods (DG) refer to substances that pose risks to health, safety, property, and the environment when transported.  

The main factors contributing to this action include: 

- Misdeclarations

- Incorrect or inadequate packaging

- Incorrect stowage

- Misrepresentations

- Mishandling and negligence

This is aimed at helping the industry, transporters and other users proactively take measures for safe and efficient transportation of hazardous goods.
