Raben Trans European Germany GmbH has, according to its own statements, reoriented its strategy in dangerous goods transport. At the center is a central control of safety processes, which is linked to active advisory for customers. The company emphasizes that it has established a safety culture across the entire operation that goes beyond legal requirements.
Four-Eyes Principle in Processes
As the company states, it relies in practice on proven procedures and the four-eyes principle for safety-relevant steps. Responsibility for dangerous goods transport does not lie solely with technical systems, but above all with
trained personnel. This is intended to ensure meticulous care in daily operations.
Training and Environmental Aspects
According to the company, to date around 3,200 employees in Germany have been trained in handling dangerous goods. The goal is to minimize risks for people and the environment. Through strict safety protocols, the company intends to avoid potential environmental damage during transport.
Future Topics Lithium-Ion Batteries
As a forthcoming focus, Raben lists the safe transport of lithium-ion batteries as well as other dangerous goods with special requirements. Looking at these developments, the company points to a
forward-looking approach that is already being implemented today.
Information and Transport Security
According to Raben, information security is also part of the safety understanding. In this context, the company refers to ISO 27001 certification. The same standards that apply to protecting sensitive data should, therefore, also apply to the transport of dangerous goods.
„For us, compliance with the regulations is the basis, not the goal,” explains Marco Euchner, central dangerous goods officer at Raben. “Our aim is to act as a strategic partner for our customers. We proactively develop safe and efficient solutions,
which, arising from a legal necessity, become a real competitive advantage.”
Organization in Germany
According to its own statements, Raben's dangerous goods organization comprises 33 branches in Germany. The central coordination of these locations is a key component of the strategy.
