What ADR-classified cargo we handle

T&C Logistics transports the following dangerous goods classes under ADR regulation:

• Class 2: Compressed, liquefied, and dissolved gases (industrial, medical, refrigerant).
• Class 3: Flammable liquids (solvents, petrol, paint thinners, adhesives).
• Class 4: Flammable solids, spontaneously combustible materials, and substances that emit flammable gas when wet.
• Class 5: Oxidising substances and organic peroxides (bleach, hydrogen peroxide, pool chemicals).
• Class 6: Toxic and infectious substances (pesticides, pathogenic samples, poisons).
• Class 8: Corrosive substances (acids, alkalis, battery fluid, paint stripper).
• Class 9: Miscellaneous hazardous materials, including lithium batteries (UN3480 and UN3481), asbestos, and magnetised materials.

What we do not transport: Class 1 (explosives) and Class 7 (radioactive materials). Both require specialist licensed carriers; we refer clients to accredited partners on request.

Every shipment is accompanied by tremcards, orange hazard placards, UN class documentation, and signed proof of delivery. Drivers complete pre-dispatch safety briefings and vehicle checks before departure.

"Hazardous goods logistics in towns like Basingstoke succeeds only if every driver knows the regulations by heart and every paperwork trail is immaculate. We've invested in ADR-qualified operators and strict compliance culture because a single mistake costs livelihoods and licenses." —Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics

ADR compliance and driver training

All T&C Logistics drivers assigned to hazardous goods shipments hold current ADR Category B or C certifications, renewed every three years via accredited training providers. Compliance covers:

• Tremcard familiarity: Emergency response information sheets for each hazard class.
• UN classification and documentation: Correct labelling, packing group assignment, and shipper declarations.
• Vehicle safety: Maintenance of hazardous goods equipment (placards, mirrors, extinguishers, spillage kits).
• TDG (Transport of Dangerous Goods) regulations: UK compliance framework, including driver logbooks and segregation rules.
• Emergency procedures: Reporting, containment, and coordination with local authority fire services.
• NDA and confidentiality: Drivers sign Non-Disclosure Agreements on a per-assignment basis.

We maintain signed proof-of-delivery with full chain-of-custody documentation. POD signatures are secured at collection and delivery, creating an auditable trail for regulatory oversight and insurance purposes.
