What is a Permit for Equivalent Level of Safety?

With advancements in technology it is important that a regulatory vehicle be in place to expedite the safe transport of dangerous goods. A Permit for Equivalent Level of Safety is a document that allows an individual or company to operate in a manner that is different from what is required by the regulations but that provides an equivalent level of safety.
