FAQ – ADR TRANSPORT DOCUMENTS
Why Is ADR Important in Warehouse Operations?
In the context of a warehouse, ADR information helps to streamline storing dangerous goods, especially in a space that facilitates other goods that fall out of that category. While some workplace accidents are mostly unavoidable, others do not fall under that category. With adequate classification and handling procedures in place, many tragedies can be handled before they even begin.
That is why your WMS needs to be able to keep some record of classification types, so your operations can run smoothly. The CORAX system does this well by cataloging classification information, such as ADR values and classes. Naturally, the people handling the items can use the said information and the associated best practices and policies to keep themselves safe and the warehouse intact.
In short, ADR classifications help to make dangerous goods less dangerous to deal with in a warehouse context, so you should never discredit their relevance to the system.
How Does ADR Factor into Transport?
Moving goods around and storing them effectively in a warehouse is one thing, but they can only get to your customers via the transport process. At this stage, dangerous goods are in motion and must pass through various transport types to move along the supply line.
It is not only the people who are directly handling the dangerous substances who are at risk. These supplies travel through various private and public areas in which civilians and other people are moving around. The most obvious example of this is when trucks carrying dangerous substances travel along roadways used by other motorists.
ADR does two things in this context. The first is that the certification requirements enable those transporting the items to do so in the safest possible manner. On the other hand, the warning labels help other people to keep their distance. While the average person may not be an ADR expert, seeing a label that reads “corrosive” or “flammable” sends enough of a message.
Does CORAX Provide any ADR Functionality That Is Relevant to Transport?
CORAX facilitates ADR classification and procedures in a couple of fundamental ways. First, it can store information on classification identifiers, which allows it to provide these upon request and help to keep these dangerous goods stored where they should.
However, the role that CORAX can play does not end there, as it can help your dangerous commodity transportation efforts in one simple yet effective way. Using the system, you can print all the relevant details associated with dangerous substances on labels. Of course, these are the same labels that are sending signals to people indicating that there is danger at play.
It does not stop at labels though, as the WMS also offers full data printing on documents, which goes a long way in providing insights to the required parties. So, even without having a hand in the actual movements of the items, CORAX still manages to be incredibly effective from an administrative standpoint.
