This paper attempts to identify dangerous goods, their unique characteristics that affect their packaging, how they are stored and what can cause hazards during handling, focusing on Class 1 explosives. Explosive accident case studies have been examined in order to determine the major hazards connected with explosives and to give recommendations and projections for the improvement and future of risky chemical cargo handling. The objective of the study is to look for major pitfalls during transportation & storage of dangerous chemicals. In the study conclusions are drawn for safe handling of dangerous goods. The ultimate goal is to suggest possible solutions to improve the efficiency of a safety system and to handle these dangerous goods during transport.
