Ground Handling: Minimizing Risks of deviations

Ground handling is one of the riskiest phases of pharmaceutical transport. Exposure to uncontrolled temperatures, delays on the tarmac, and mishandling during transfers can quickly compromise sensitive shipments.
To mitigate these risks, handlers must follow stringent protocols, including time-limited transfers and consistent monitoring of temperature-controlled areas. Training in the unique requirements of pharmaceutical products ensures careful handling and reduces the likelihood of damage.
Thermal packaging provides additional protection during these vulnerable moments. Insulation and phase change materials help maintain internal temperatures, even if delays occur or environmental conditions change unexpectedly. This extra layer of security is particularly vital during handovers between carriers or during customs clearance.
