Using Product Knowledge

Knowledge about a product is of no use unless you use that knowledge to handle and store the
product correctly.
 Hazardous substances need to be handled in accordance with the relevant Dangerous Goods
Regulations.

 Perishable goods need to be stored at appropriate temperatures, and generally have a limited
life expectancy, which means they must be despatched quickly to ensure the quality of the
goods is maintained.

 Fragile items need to be handled carefully to avoid breakage.
 Some items such as drugs, tobacco and alcohol will require special security arrangements.
