With dangerous goods, an error rarely stops at one document. Classification, packaging, labels, vehicle equipment and driver instructions all depend on one another.
Review the most common shipments with the dangerous-goods safety adviser and correct document templates. Drivers need a clear checklist, not only a link to a long manual.
Give particular attention to new cargo types, batteries and waste. An order from a familiar customer does not guarantee the same regulatory regime as last time.
Model scenario: a mixed pallet includes 180 kg of regulated batteries alongside general cargo. Recording the UN number, quantity, labels, extinguishers and driver instructions on one job checklist gives dispatch a concrete go/no-go decision.
