It is important to be aware of the safety precautions that must be taken when transporting or using a dangerous good. Some of the most common dangerous goods that must be stored in specific ways include:
Chemicals: Chemicals must be kept in a safe container that is made to guard against physical harm and leaks.
Radioactive materials: Radioactive materials must be kept in a safe container that is protected from the outside elements.
Explosives: The safest way to keep explosives safe from physical harm and leaking is to keep them in a container that is both secure and leak-proof.
