How we handle pharmaceutical transport (GDP)
Transport of pharmaceuticals is a huge responsibility; it is vital to the lives and health of those in need of treatment. As specialists, the staff at Börje Jönsson Åkeri takes this responsibility seriously by prioritizing safety, quality and accuracy in all GDP transports.
The challenge of transporting pharmaceuticals
Transporting pharmaceuticals and medical products is a major challenge. These products are often extremely sensitive and must be kept within precise temperature ranges throughout the entire journey. Just a few degrees too high or too low can render a medication ineffective or even harmful. Timing is also critical, especially for biologics and blood products, where delays can cause the products to lose their effectiveness.
In addition to time and temperature, pharmaceuticals are affected by environmental factors like light and even odors. That’s why it’s crucial to know what can and cannot be co-shipped. All of this must be monitored and controlled throughout the transport process to ensure the product remains unchanged and safe. Moreover, there are strict laws and regulations governing pharmaceutical transport, requiring full traceability from the manufacturer to the end user. Every step must be carefully documented to enable tracking through the entire supply chain if necessary.
How we transport medicines safely and securely
At Börje Jönsson Åkeri, we use specialized equipment and vehicles to ensure that temperature, humidity and other environmental factors are kept under control throughout the journey. All our vehicles are ATP-rated – FRC or FNA – and the cargo spaces are temperature-mapped. To ensure everything is handled correctly and professionally, all staff involved in pharmaceutical transport undergo continuous specialized training.
Before each shipment, we carry out risk assessments of our routes and use safe resting areas and equipment to minimize the risk of deviations. Should an incident occur, we have clear and well-established incident procedures for both drivers and vehicles. With established escalation processes, we can quickly identify what has happened, assess the impact on the product and feed back to the customer with timely and accurate information.
