The Storage, Handling and Transportation of Dangerous Goods is such a complex subject that there are many companies in Brazil and abroad specifically focused on this theme. From the legislation point of view, there are about 30 Technical Standards (NBR) issued by ABNT on this subject, in addition to several Regulatory Norms issued by the Ministry of Labor (NR-11, NR-16, NR-19 and NR -20), in addition to the Fire Brigade Technical Instructions on Flammable Liquids.
Correct compliance with legislation, as well as the necessary knowledge about the storage, handling and transportation of dangerous goods is a very important factor in the prevention of accidents and human/financial losses.
