Attentions should be Paid for Chemical Transportation in Summer

The transportation of dangerous chemicals is one of the most important aspects in addition to production and storage. In recent years, road accidents of hazardous chemicals in China and abroad have occurred frequently. With the advent of hot summer days, the potential risks of dangerous goods transportation are gradually increasing. Transport personnel must pay attention to transportation safety and protect the safety of themselves and others!
Vehicle
1. Before driving
To strengthen vehicle inspections, it is necessary to strengthen the routine maintenance and safety inspection of dangerous chemicals transportation vehicles to prevent sickness from getting on the road, and at the same time, to check whether the vehicle logos are complete.
2. During transportation
To prevent dangerous chemical spill accidents, check the inside and the bottom of the compartment for liquid leakage every two hours. If there is any possibility, the leakage source should be blocked in time to avoid polluting the environment.
3. Loading Standard of goods
The loading of dangerous chemicals should be evenly balanced and fixed as a whole, so as to achieve one car and one cargo.
Personnel
1. Driver
Do not drive fatigue. The summer is long and the night is short, the temperature is high, and various mosquito nuisances, which brings serious safety hazards to driving safety. Driver should have sufficient rest before driving on road.
2. Compliance with traffic regulations
According to the approved tonnage loading, no overload transportation is allowed, and different hazardous chemicals may not be mixed. Do not change the driving route privately.
Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, and increase the distance in rain and fog. If the road is slippery, you cannot make a sharp direction.
3. Loading and unloading personnel
Warning signs shall be set in the dangerous goods loading and unloading operation area, and unrelated personnel shall not enter the loading and unloading operation area;
If loading and unloading during thunderstorms, it should be confirmed that lightning protection and moisture prevention measures are effective;
It is forbidden to carry the fire with you in the loading and unloading area of flammable and explosive dangerous goods; turn off the communication tools and electronic equipment such as mobile phones that are carried around; strictly prohibit smoking; wear work clothes that do not produce static electricity and work shoes without nails;
Natural aspect
Choose reasonable on road time. In summer, we suggest driver to rest at day time and drive at night to prevent liquid expansion in hot weather. Try not to be on road with dangerous chemical during the holidays.
Exposure to tarmac roads in summer is prone to “virtual light”, which affects the driver’s correct judgment of the road surface.
In summer, temperature is high, and long-time driving, especially in the case of long slopes and steep slopes, often causes brake failure; in high temperature weather, puncture accidents occur more frequently; when driving in high temperature weather, air conditioning, long traffic jams and idle speed It will cause the water temperature to be too high, which is the cause of the disaster.
The cargo is self-igniting, exploding or causing a fire and explosion due to a collision with a traffic accident. Under high temperature conditions, dangerous goods are extremely volatile and flammable and explosive. In case of fire or severe collision, it is particularly easy to cause serious accidents.
