DG Repacking

Haze Cargo also specializes in repacking dangerous goods. Dangerous goods repacking refers to the process of transferring hazardous materials from their original packaging to new packaging that meets the required standards and regulations for safe transportation. We understand the importance of this process in ensuring that dangerous goods are properly contained, labelled, and handled during transportation, reducing the risks associated with their transportation.

When dangerous goods arrive at a facility, they are typically in their original packaging. However, in some cases, the original packaging may not meet the necessary standards for safe transportation. This can happen due to damage or degradation of the packaging, or if the contents of the package have shifted during transportation. In these situations, the dangerous goods must be repacked into new packaging that meets the required standards.

Repackaging hazardous materials requires many measures to ensure that the contents are properly labelled and controlled. Evaluating materials and choosing a package that meets regulatory standards is the first step. New packaging must be robust enough to withstand the stresses of transportation and suitable for the contents being transported.

The subsequent step is to cautiously transfer the original package’s contents to the new packing. This needs to be done in a way that reduces the possibility of spills or leaks, which could endanger both the environment and personnel.

The dangerous products must be appropriately marked and labelled to identify the type of material being carried after being transferred to the new packaging. This contains the right shipping name, UN number, and hazard class labelling. The sender and receiver’s names and addresses, as well as any specific handling instructions, must also be written on the package.

The repacked dangerous products must also be handled, stored, and released properly to avoid any contamination or unintentional releases. This involves keeping them in a safe place that is adequately aired, safe from fire, and free from other dangers.
