Mr. Richard Shreeve

This presentation gives an insight into the risks posed by purchasing sub-standard or non-compliant hazard labels and placards. It will cover the specifications for marine standards in the IMDG Code and the BS5609 accreditation. We will highlight the potential fines, costs of unnecessary snags en route, and the impact on customer service. The primary objective will be to raise awareness to those shipping dangerous goods to be vigilant, avoid using non-compliant labels, and to specify that procurement teams purchase the required products.
