The transport of hazardous chemicals needs to be regulated

With the continuous improvement of domestic industrial development level, the proportion of petrochemical industry in the economy is increasing, and the transportation demand of hazardous chemicals is becoming more and more vigorous. The transportation of hazardous chemicals is a special transportation, with its own certain safety risks, so the relevant audit procedures, qualification conditions, transportation supervision is very strict.

Today, DARO trailer axles will take a detailed inventory of the knowledge that needs to be understood in the transportation of hazardous chemicals.
