The purpose of transport of dangerous by rail is to harmonise the rules applicable to the national and intra-community transport of dangerous goods by rail. Harmonisation of the rules makes it possible to remove obstacles to the free movement of goods between Member States with regard to transport equipment. Such transport will therefore be carried out under the best possible safety conditions. In EU legislation the application of RID rules is extended to domestic transport. In addition Directive 96/35 on the appointment and vocational qualification of safety advisers for the transport of dangerous goods by road, rail and inland waterway requires employers whose employees load, transport or unload dangerous goods in significant quantities to appoint, a special vocationally certified `adviser' to monitor compliance with the transport by road, rail and inland waterway requirements.
