Introductory remarks There are undoubtedly many companies in which responsible, quality-conscious staff plan and devise optimum transit procedures so that the goods to be shipped reach the receiver having suffered the least possible damage. In such companies, prevention of damage is a priority since it is common knowledge that economic success is to a great extent dependent upon customer satisfaction. Considerable effort is taken to avoid shipping damage or to restrict the extent of such damage. But what about those personnel who don't care as much about preventing damage? Virtually inevitably, their actions or omissions cause damage and accidents.

One of the reason on why some transporters ends up with broken cargo is the labeling of the cargo. some workers are not aware of them and I'd say that one of the ways to fix this is by giving them the right TDG training.training for transporting dangerous good is one of the best ways to make sure that your workers know what they are doing and what they are handling.
