ADR security plan, developed and implemented
If your operation involves high consequence dangerous goods — production, dispatch, storage or carriage — ADR 1.10.3.2 requires the company to adopt, implement and comply with a security plan. We develop the plan around your operation, implement it and train your people — so it works on the road, not only in the folder.
Who must have a security plan
Chapter 1.10 singles out high consequence dangerous goods — goods with the potential for misuse and serious consequences. Whether you make, dispatch, store or carry them above the thresholds of Table 1.10.3.1.2, the plan is mandatory for every participant in the carriage.

- “Any quantity” — the plan is required from the first litre or kilogram.
- “—” — this mode of carriage does not apply to the goods.
- “Not required” — in packages the plan is not needed whatever the quantity.
- Tank and bulk values apply where that mode of carriage is authorised for the goods.
- High consequence radioactive material (Class 7) has its own thresholds under 1.10.3.1.3 — ask us about your goods.
- Exemption under 1.10.4 — where tank or bulk quantities per transport unit stay within the limits of 1.1.3.6.3, sections 1.10.1–1.10.3 do not apply.

Name the substance or the UN number — we answer within one working day.
What the plan contains
ADR 1.10.3.2.2 sets the minimum content — eight elements. We work each of them through for your actual operation.
Allocation of responsibilities
Security duties assigned to named people with the competence, qualification and authority to carry them.
Records of the goods
A list of the dangerous goods, or the types of goods, the plan covers.
Operations and risk review
Current operations assessed for security risks — stops, time in the vehicle, tank or container, temporary storage and transfers.
Measures to reduce risks
Training, security policy, operating practice and the equipment used — matched to each duty in the operation.
Reporting and response
Effective, up-to-date procedures for reporting threats, breaches and incidents — and dealing with them.
Evaluation and testing
Methods to evaluate and exercise the plan, with periodic review and update.
Protecting the information
Physical security of the transport information the plan contains.
Limited distribution
Transport information reaches only those who need it for their duties.
How the implementation runs
- 01
We study the operation
Your goods against Table 1.10.3.1.2, routes, sites, people and current practice.
- 02
The plan takes shape
You review a draft written for your operation — every element of 1.10.3.2.2 in place.
- 03
People are trained
Responsible staff are briefed. Video training for everyone involved — in the languages your people speak.
- 04
Handover and reviews
The signed plan enters service with a schedule of periodic reviews and updates.
Video training on the plan — made for each company
A security plan works when the people who handle the goods know it — from the warehouse to the cab. We are preparing video training built individually per company — watched from the phone, each in their own language, wherever the work happens.
Module in preparation — included in your proposal
The standard part
Security awareness under ADR 1.10.2.2 — recognising risks and acting on a breach.
The part about your company
A section prepared for your goods, routes and sites — not generic footage.
In the languages of your people
Everyone watches from the phone, in the language they actually speak — in the warehouse, at loading or on the road.
Experience — gas, fuel, chemicals
The security plans we develop run in real transport operations across the European Union.
Gas
Plans for gas carriers — from liquefied gas in tanks to cylinder consignments.
- Route and parking security
- Access control at the sites
- Crew briefing and response to a threat
Fuel
Petrol and fuel distribution in tank vehicles — daily runs at a high tempo.
- Deliveries down to the filling stations
- Security equipment of the vehicles
- The plan runs inside the daily work — without stopping the runs
Chemicals
Chemical products across classes and packing groups — from the plant to international chains.
- Warehouses and access arrangements
- Records of the goods and document flow
- Work with carriers in several countries
Pricing
The same open model as our subscription — a clear base, add-on modules and an honest word about complex cases.

Have a different question?
Contact the consultantWho is required to have a security plan?
Carriers, consignors and other participants in the carriage of high consequence dangerous goods (Table 1.10.3.1.2) or high consequence radioactive material — ADR 1.10.3.2.1. The duty applies to each participant commensurate with their role.
We carry only packages — does the plan apply?
The table sets thresholds per column. For many entries package carriage is outside the scope of 1.10.3 — but explosives, toxic gases, toxic substances of packing group I and category A infectious substances count at any quantity. Check against your goods.
Are small loads exempt?
Yes — under 1.10.4, where tank or bulk quantities per transport unit stay within the limits of 1.1.3.6.3, sections 1.10.1–1.10.3 do not apply. UN 2912 and UN 2913 are exempt as well.
What do inspectors check?
Security is part of the ordinary checks — under 1.10.1.5 the checks of 1.8.1 and 7.5.1.1 cover security measures too, and each crew member must carry photo identification (1.10.1.4).
Who keeps the plan current?
The plan itself must provide for periodic review and updating — element f) of 1.10.3.2.2. With the ADRplus One subscription that work is carried out by your consultant.
How fast can we start?
After a short call and your list of goods we return a proposal within one working day. The plan is then developed around your operation and implemented together with your team.
