Zentralbereich Neuenheimer Feld Transports of hazardous goods
Transport of hazardous goods is connected to increased risks. The legislator has, therefore, issued extensive provisions and specified who is responsible for compliance with these provisions in detail. We will provide an overview of how to order the transport of hazardous goods by road and air in our department and which provisions must be observed for road and air transport below.
Please understand that we offer our service exclusively for Heidelberg University and the university-internal facilities. You will need a valid ZNF customer card for any orders and enquiries. Please note that some page links will only be accessible via the university-internal network.
