Road transport and protection of dangerous goods

Road transport of dangerous goods must be equipped with transport equipment and handling equipment that ensure safety. Operations managers and drivers who are familiar with the performance of dangerous goods are required to ensure the safe transportation of dangerous goods.

The motor vehicle cargo box should be a wooden floor, so that sparks can be avoided; if the iron floor is used, corresponding liner protection should be used. Motor vehicle exhaust pipe must have heat insulation and spark extinguishing devices. According to the nature of the dangerous goods loaded, it is equipped with appropriate fire-fighting equipment and devices such as strapping, waterproofing, and anti-dissipation.

Tank (tank) car tank (tank) body material must be compatible with the nature of the loaded goods, such as: nitric acid application of aluminum tank, waste nitric acid application of glass steel and stainless steel. According to need, equipped with double-channel gates, anti-wave plate, sunshade and other safety devices. Vehicles that transport containers, large cylinders, and movable tanks (cans) must have effective, robust equipment and corresponding cork.

Special transport vehicles and equipment for transporting radioisotopes must comply with the relevant regulations of the departments of hygiene, epidemic prevention and public security. Vehicles, equipment, handling tools, and protective equipment should be subject to periodic inspection of radioactive contamination. When pollution intensity exceeds the standard, it must be cleaned and disinfected before it can continue to be used.

The various loading and unloading machinery used requires sufficient safety factors. The general design requirements exceed one-third of the load capacity. For cranes and trucks with a rated load of 5 tons, they should be able to reach a lifting capacity of 6 tons to 7 tons. Shipment machinery must have anti-explosion devices that eliminate sparks. It is forbidden to use friction-producing tools that generate sparks. The tools used must not have contaminants that are incompatible with the loaded goods.

During the transportation process, if there is a spill phenomenon, the following measures should be taken:

1. Explosives: Quickly transfer to a safe place to repair or replace the packaging. Wet the spilled items with water in time, sprinkle some loose materials such as sawdust or cotton, and collect them gently.

2. Compressed gas or volatile liquid: Open the door, garage door, and move to a ventilated area. Liquid ammonia leaks can be immersed in water, and other highly toxic gases should be immersed in lime water.

3. Self-combustion products or water-burning products: Yellow phosphorus should be quickly immersed in water after being splashed. Metal sodium, potassium, etc. must be immersed in iron drums containing kerosene or anhydrous liquid paraffin.

4. Flammable: Point the leaking area upwards. Clean the spill by covering it with dry yellow sand and dry soil.

5. Toxic goods: quickly cover with sand, evacuation of personnel, please contact the Ministry of Health and Epidemic Prevention for assistance.

6. Corrosion products: Cover with sand and rinse with clean water.

7. Radioactive products: Keep away from radioactive sources and protect the site quickly. Please refer to the health and epidemic prevention department for guidance.
