 Guide to completing a security plan
[Delete this page once completed]
For those engaged in the carriage of high consequence
dangerous goods, the implementation of a transport security
plan is a mandatory requirement as detailed in Chapter 1.10 of
the ADR & RID Regulations.

High consequence dangerous goods are defined in the

regulations as those which have the potential for misuse in a
terrorist event and which may, as a result, produce serious
consequences such as mass casualties, mass destruction or,
particularly for Class 7, mass socio-economic disruption.

The list of high consequence dangerous goods can be found at

sub chapter 1.10.3.1.2. The provisions of chapter 1.10 do not
apply to the carriage of limited quantities and quantities below
the levels of subsection 1.1.3.6.3 of ADR. It is important to note
that in terms of security provisions, 1.1.3.6.3 also applies to
tank and bulk transport by road vehicles.

Delete or mark as N/A any parts of this template that are not
applicable to you. Add any further transport or site related
security information not included within this template. This is
only a suggested template, you could choose to adopt this,
adapt this, or create one of your own that suits your operation.

If you have a road and rail connection, you may choose to

create a combined document for both operations; it is also
acceptable to keep them separate. For operators with multiple
sites, you may wish to create one company-wide security plan
for the whole operation, or one for each transport site. Do what
is best for your operation.

The completed plan must address at least all the elements

specified in sub chapter 1.10.3.2.2 of the ADR & RID
regulations.

security guidance which can be found at:
