Guidance
Safety Risk Assessment for Chemical Transport Operations

Risk assessment is an important tool that should be used by companies to manage the risks of their transport operations. 

In order to assist companies in carrying out transport risk assessments,Cefic has developed Guidance on Transport Risk Assessment for Chemical Transport Operations. 

This Cefic Guidance provides general advice on how the safety and environmental risks of transport operations can be assessed, taking into account already existing best practices. 

It should assist chemical and transport companies in identifying transport activities with high potential risks and in implementing risk mitigation measures.
