An emergency telephone number for dangerous goods transportation is mandatory in numerous countries including the USA and Canada, and it is required by many air carriers (IATA). According to regulation 1907/2006/ EC, this emergency number must be included on any safety data sheet.

GBK’s Emergency Telephone Number (EMTEL), offers 24/7 immediate telephone assistance, if there occur problems during transport or handling of dangerous goods/hazardous materials. This comprehensive service ensures assistance not only in the case of spillage, fire or contamination, but also medical advice for toxicological incidents.
