Tiivistelmä
The warehousing of dangerous chemicals in Finland is still in its infancy stage. Nevertheless, it is constantly growing. The chemical experts are rare and overworked. Schenker Cargo Oy needed a guide for their warehousing space sellers, which would introduce the most common aspects of warehousing of dangerous chemicals. This would lessen the load of chemical experts inside the company.
Utilizing interviews with Schenker Cargo Oy’s employees and official internet sites, this research delivers introduction into the key features and explains how they effect to warehousing price. The newly opened logistics center at Ilvesvuori, Nurmijärvi was used as a prime example for the theory part contents. Using the pragmatic approach, the certification, standards and the laws and regulations were found out to be the most common aspects of warehousing.
The result of this thesis was the theory part which will be translated into Finnish and given to Schenker Cargo Oy’s sellers for everyday use. With this guide, they will be able to answer to most common questions asked by customers, to recognize hazardous chemicals and know the background regulations. Given that the theory content is applicable to other warehouses, this guide can be used outside of Ilvesvuori logistics center.
