Summary/Abstract: Road transport of dangerous goods, due to their specific properties that may endanger people and the environment, is burdened with many procedures and numerous documentation related to the carriage and transport. Every year, the number of carriage of dangerous goods increases, which forces road users, especially people transporting these goods, to have a special entitlement that will allow for the safe transport of dangerous goods. The aim of the written assignment was to present the functioning of the transport of dangerous goods and the standards and rules to be followed in order not to pose a threat at any stage of the movement of this type of cargo. It was found that the number of accidents and incidents resulting from road transport of hazardous materials in Poland grows slower than the volume of this transport. The reason is the better and better adherence to the safety procedure. To reduce the risk of a hazard in the road transport of dangerous goods, it is extremely important to comply with the ADR agreement, be familiar with the law and regulations.
