For any details regarding Dangerous Goods Safety Consultancy services in hospitals and the healthcare sector that you cannot find answers to, please feel free to contact us via our contact page. Among the many sectors covered by ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road), the healthcare sector is also included. Hospitals, dialysis centers, medical centers, and outpatient clinics use various hazardous chemical substances, and these healthcare institutions are subject to ADR regulations.
Among the hazardous substances handled, the most critical are infectious substances classified under ADR Class 6.2 (UN 2814, UN 2900, UN 3291, and UN 3373). As defined in ADR, infectious substances are those known to contain pathogens or are reasonably expected to contain them. Another important category to consider is medical and clinical waste, which also falls under the scope of infectious substances.
In addition to infectious substances, hospitals and healthcare institutions also handle other hazardous materials. Examples include ethyl alcohol (ethanol), laboratory chemicals, gases, disinfectants, and radioactive materials used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Carbon dioxide (CO₂), medical dry air, oxygen (O₂), helium (He), nitrous oxide (N₂O), nitrogen (N), pure acetylene, liquid nitrogen, ethylene oxide, and argon are among the medical gases frequently used in healthcare facilities and hospitals.
