Dangerous Goods Now Transported Between 36
Countries in North America,
Europe and Asia
MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 12, 2017 /CNW/ - UPS (NYSE:UPS)
today expanded its global dangerous goods shipping program by
adding more than 400 new commodities that can be accepted in its
global air network and more than 300 products across its ground
network in Europe. The company
also increased the allowable quantity of select dangerous goods
accepted for shipment.
There is a growing demand from companies in a variety of
industries to ship products that are classified as dangerous goods.
For example, healthcare companies need to transport chemicals to
clean laboratory equipment. Industrial manufacturing companies
transport paint, compressed gases, adhesives and batteries, among
other items. UPS can now help these businesses ship between 36
countries.
"UPS helps companies meet strict and often complex requirements
when shipping dangerous goods," said Teresa
Finley, UPS Chief Marketing Officer. "Now we can meet our
customers' expanded needs for a one-stop solution to ship both
conventional and dangerous goods."
UPS has technology applications to simplify shipping packages
that meet guidelines issued by the International Air Transport
Association, Transport Canada (TDG Regulations), the U.S.
Department of Transportation, the European Dangerous Goods Accord,
and the International Civil Aviation Organization, a specialized
agency of the United Nations.
UPS customers can use UPS Worldship® to verify if dangerous
goods shipments meet requirements, and notify UPS when the
shipments are ready for processing.
UPS provides extensive employee training and takes extra
precautions to ensure dangerous goods are safely transported. The
company's integrated transportation network utilizes leak-proof
packaging, fire-resistant containers and fire containment
covers.
