Transportation of dangerous goods
Transportation of dangerous goods
Experts traditionally classify dangerous goods as dangerous goods.Those substances and materials, which represent a real threat to human life and health. These are inflammable products (such as oil, gas, etc.), and poisonous substances (for example, waste products, nuclear, etc.), and oxidizing products, capable of destroying everything around them in minutes. True, if you follow the rules of their storage and, of course, transportation, problems can be avoided. But for this very clearly it is necessary to follow the instruction.
Despite the potential threat, according to statistics,Namely dangerous goods are the most frequently transported type of cargo. They are transported both on airplanes and on trains. But more often for transportation use motor transport. If we take into account the unstable situation on the roads of Russia, one can imagine how carefully and literally it is necessary to follow the rules of transportation.
Classification of cargo by degree of danger
Before forming a road train, be sure toIt is necessary to classify the transported product. Firstly, the relevant documents will be needed in case of an unscheduled inspection of the car by the traffic police. Secondly, it will help to more accurately determine the conditions of transportation. So, the cargo is divided by its physical and chemical properties, as well as by species and degree of danger. After all, weapons transported in an inert state are less dangerous than liquefied gas in a tank. Everything must be agreed with GOST. Specialists distinguish 9 potentially dangerous classes of goods, which, in turn, can be further subdivided into categories. The list includes: - Class 1: explosives that can cause a fire as a result of an explosion (mainly here are various pyrotechnic materials and products) - Class 2: liquefied gases, including aerosols - Class 3: flammable liquids and suspensions with flammable vapors - Class 4: flammable materials that are capable of igniting from an external source of heating (this does not include those classified as explosive); - Class 5: substances that cause oxidation, which can release oxygen and sub- - Class 6: poisonous substances and various products of an infectious nature (capable of causing death and massive contamination of the population) - Grade 7: radioactive substances - Grade 8: : caustic and corrosive substances, - 9th class - substances with a reduced risk of transport, which can not be attributed to any of the above listed species in full.Naturally, in each case it is necessaryObserve special rules of transportation, including speed limits, the availability of specially equipped vehicles, and the availability of escorts, etc.
How to obtain a permit and a license for the transport of dangerous goods
Naturally, transporting such dangerousmaterials and substance to the first person on the street from the street will not allow. Therefore, such companies usually deal with such transportations as whole companies that have successfully passed licensing in the relevant bodies. And it is in their own interests to ensure that the license is not expired. Otherwise, if there is a check, the company is in for a very big trouble. To transport dangerous goods on one or another route, it is also necessary to go through the whole procedure for obtaining all necessary permits and approvals. So, for example, if you are going to send a dangerous cargo by road (or want to receive such a cargo), it is necessary to obtain an appropriate permission for transportation from the internal affairs bodies at the location of the cargo. To do this, you must apply to the ATS at the place of acceptance of the goods with the following information: - The name of the cargo - The quantity or volume - The transportation route - Who is the responsible person in the transportation - The number of persons accompanying and guarding the cargo. At the same time, all this information must be supported by appropriate documents: an emergency card of the hazard information system (this is usually placed on the car's numbers), a route sheet (always agreed with the consignor and the consignee), a certificate of the vehicle's admission to the road network country and the permission of this car for the transport of dangerous goods (after all, not every car is designed for such purposes). All necessary marks must be affixed to the router. It should also be taken into account that when transporting nuclear materials, it will be necessary to obtain additional permission from the RF Gosatomnadzor.Remember that the permit is issued for a period ofhalf a year. Therefore, it is not necessary to be puzzled in advance with the acquisition of such permits for the year ahead. And this is despite the fact that they are not so simple.
