Transport workshop to stay within the law

NICHOLSON’S Transport is inviting people to learn more about what they can and cannot transport on the road at a FREE seminar next month.

European legislation to tighten up transport regulations has resulted in authorities clamping down on vehicles that may be carrying dangerous goods illegally and may not even be aware they are breaking the law.

Nicholson’s Transport – which specialises in the carriage of hazardous and dangerous goods and chemicals – is keen to make everyone aware of the regulations to avoid the threat of prosecution.

The workshop  covers a range of topics including transporting dangerous goods and waste safely; and the impact of current regulations, enforcement and prosecution.

Guest speakers will include Graham Dennis, emergency planning officer with Cleveland Police; John Ford, environmental crime officer with the Environment Agency; and Ali Karim, founder of the Hazchem Network – a leading expert on the handling and transport of hazardous goods.
