Whilst preferably avoided, it will at times be necessary to park vehicles loaded with dangerous goods. While vehicles are stationary there is an increased risk in relation to incidents, theft of contents or hijacking of the vehicle. The ICTA Transport and Security Committee has therefore developed a best practice document to guarantee that the safety of people, property and the environment is considered when parking vehicles with dangerous goods. The best practice outlines requirements to parking spots along public roads as well as within facilities. It also explains the difference between parking and ‘temporary storage’.  

You are advised to check if your current practices are in line with the recommendations. If you work with logistical service providers, feel free to share the best practice with them. The best practice can be found here on the extranet.
