Abstract

The publication focuses on hazardous goods in humanitarian supply chains. The author provides fundamental information about the topic and heightens the awareness of its importance for logisticians and humanitarian aid workers. Hazardous goods can be either the reason for disasters (e.g. in Fukushima) or as relief items part of humanitarian supply chains (e.g. medicines, gases). The publication discusses international standards as well as environmental and health risks, which occur from hazardous goods. Additionally, the standard process reference model SCOR is introduced as a model that is suitable to describe and analyze processes and humanitarian supply chains with hazardous goods. The analysis with SCOR and the identification of weaknesses are first steps to identify further actions for risk reduction.
