AS WITH MOST industry seminars scheduled this year, Labeline’s Biennial Dangerous Goods Roadshow has succumbed to the Covid-19 restrictions. Since 2016, the ‘Biennial’ has evolved to become one of Europe’s most important regulatory update seminars for those involved in the transport of dangerous goods and HCB has been the media partner for the event. All is not lost, however, as Labeline will be bringing the event online and hosting it as three half-day webinars. The Biennial Dangerous Goods ‘Webshow’ is timed to coincide with the release of the multimode dangerous goods regulations that will take affect from 1 January 2021. Each webinar will include a session focused on the forthcoming regulatory updates to the dangerous goods regulations.
