The Problem of Personal Responsibility of Participants Participating in the Organization of Transportation of Dangerous Goods

The article deals with the problem of applying personal responsibility for failure to fulfill obligations for the safe transportation of dangerous goods. At the moment, the responsibility falls on the specialists of the organization who are not directly involved in the preparation of dangerous goods for safe transport, such as a control mechanic, a traffic safety specialist or a dispatcher. However, as employees who put their marks in a number of accompanying documents, they are personally responsible for organizing the safe transport of dangerous goods. While the responsible person, the ADR consultant, nowhere confirms his participation in such preparation, i.e. his participation in the preparation of dangerous goods for safe transportation is not documented in any way, although this is his main task and, de facto, it is rather problematic to bring such a person to responsibility for failure to fulfill his obligations. As a conclusion, it is proposed to amend a number of legislative acts in order to remove responsibility from employees who should not be responsible for the preparation of a vehicle with dangerous goods and to assign this responsibility to the ADR consultant who is responsible for this.
