NCB Hazcheck combines more than 40 years of dangerous goods technology with the cargo safety expertise of National Cargo Bureau. Whether you need expert advice, help transforming your processes or confidence that AI is giving you safe answers, our teams work with you on your own operation.
Expertise & Advisory
Delivered primarily by NCB and Hazcheck subject-matter experts.
Regulatory Consulting
Practical advice on applying the IMDG Code, 49 CFR and ADR to your cargo, documents and operations, including classification, documentation, segregation and stowage, and preparing for new amendments such as IMDG Code Amendment 43-26.
Cargo Safety Assessments
An assessment of how dangerous goods risks are identified and controlled in your operation, from cargo acceptance to loading, showing where improvements will have the most effect.
Independent Assurance & Audits
A full review of your dangerous goods transport process from end to end: how cargo is classified and declared, how bookings are accepted and checked, how documents are produced and passed on, and how dangerous goods are packed, stowed and handed over. You receive clear findings and practical recommendations, prioritised by risk.
Programme Development & Training
Dangerous goods compliance programmes, procedures and training plans built around your organisation, using our DNV-certified online courses where they fit and tailored training where they do not.
Specialist Advice
Support with complex, unusual or high-risk dangerous goods questions, from a team that works with the regulations every day.
Digital Transformation & Integration
Supported by Hazcheck technology teams working alongside operational experts.
AI Implementation & Benchmarking
Is AI giving you safe results? Large language models can give fluent, confident answers to dangerous goods questions that are still wrong, and in safety-critical regulation a plausible answer is not good enough.
Using DGEval, NCB’s benchmark for testing how well AI models understand and apply the IMDG Code, we assess the AI tools your teams use or plan to use and show where they can be relied on and where they cannot. We then help you put AI to work in your dangerous goods processes with the right safeguards: authoritative regulatory data, traceable citations and human review.
Process Improvement & Workflow Automation
Many dangerous goods errors start with data: information re-keyed between systems, documents arriving in different formats, and checks that depend on who is on shift. We review how dangerous goods information moves through your business and help you design and automate workflows that capture data once, check it consistently and pass it on in a structured format, for example using OpenDGD.
Regulatory System Integration
Bring dangerous goods regulatory data and checks into your booking, ERP, transport management and port systems, using Hazcheck Validate, Hazcheck DGL Data and our web services.
Bespoke Development
Where an off-the-shelf product is not the right fit, our technology teams can design and build dangerous goods software around your operation.
