Did you know that CHEMTREC has a Latin America office based in São Paulo, Brazil? CHEMTREC has had presence in the region since 2018, bringing our high standards and enhancing safety by strengthening its local know-how and building lasting relationships with local customers and partners.
In addition to Brazil, other countries in Mercosur have their own regulations regarding the transportation and response to chemical emergencies. Check them out: Decree 779/95 approved the Regulations of Law 24,449/95. Annex S refers to the General Regulations for the Road Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Chapter IV describes the Procedures in Case of Emergency.
The logistics activity for the transportation of hazardous chemical products is governed by numerous laws, both in Brazil and in Mercosur, regarding the packaging and conditions of the vehicle. This is due to the dangerousness of this type of material and its potential to cause social, environmental and property damage.
This year marks CHEMTREC's 50th anniversary! We'll be looking back on CHEMTREC's history throughout 2021, but we hope that you will celebrate with us (we hope by the fall it is safe to do so in-person) at the #CHEMTRECSummit in New Orleans, October 20-22, where we will be honoring the past, present and future of the hazmat industry.
TRANSCAER (Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response) is excited to announce the launch of its Corporate Member Program. This unique opportunity gives companies the chance to build connections with first responders and get involved in the community.
