L07.2 – Clinical Trials with Dangerous Goods

This lecture is designed to provide clinical trial staff with a high-level overview of shipping compliant requirements when dealing with dangerous goods (DG). The session is not full DG training; rather, its goal is to create awareness that materials you manage in a study, such as specific drugs or biologics, may require specialized shipping procedures. We will explore the various classifications—including de minimis, excepted quantities, limited quantities, and full DG—and the crucial role of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The lecture will provide staff with a general understanding so they know when to consult with vendor specialists and what specifics to look for in trial documentation.
