The transport of dangerous goods, poses risks of significant accidents. It should be ensured that such transport is carried out in the best possible conditions of safety, minimizing the risk of accidents and improving quality levels of those transport.
To facilitate the transport of dangerous goods operations, international rules were created for each mode of transport.

In the case of road (ADR) and rail (RID) modes of transport, companies whose activity includes dangerous goods dispatch or transport operations, or packaging, loading, filling or unloading operations connected with such transport, must appoint one or more Safety Advisers, responsible for helping to prevent the risks inherent in such activities with regard to persons, property and the environment.
