The rules for the transport of dangerous goods should be strictly observed

The rules for the transport of dangerous goods were approved in August 1995 by Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation No. 73. They are mandatory for organizations of all forms of ownership, including for individual entrepreneurs. These rules make it possible to transport dangerous goods by cars as safely as possible, and also define the rights, duties and relationships between all the participants that are involved in the delivery.

Dangerous goods should include substances and materials that, during transport and related operations, may pose a threat to human health or cause significant harm to the environment. These include: explosive and flammable materials and liquids, as well as poisonous, radioactive and some others. In accordance with GOST 19433-88 all dangerous goods are divided into classes. The same document lists their list, which includes more than 20 titles.

The rules for the transport of dangerous goods require loading and unloading only at specially prepared posts, observing the necessary precautions. When carrying out such work, there must be a responsible person who will monitor the progress of work. All personnel are required to wear special tools designed for individual protection against harmful factors and to be instructed on this type of work.

Vehicles transporting dangerous goods must have a certificate of admission issued by the GAI subdivision after passing a technical inspection.

The rules for the transport of dangerous goods contain a section in which all requirements for vehicles are detailed. For such transportations it is possible to use cars that have been specially manufactured for this purpose and comply with all applicable regulations and rules, as well as converted vehicles having the necessary documents. In addition, the section outlines the requirements that are imposed on drivers, and much more.

In order not to violate the rules for the carriage of dangerous goods, the company that will carry out the delivery must develop a traffic route and, if necessary, coordinate it with the traffic police. At the same time, specialists should remember that in no case should the path pass through reserves and recreation areas, and large settlements should be avoided if possible.

General rules for the carriage of goods have been operating in our country since 1971, although they have undergone some changes since then. They determine the order of transportation of goods using road transport, as well as contain vehicle mileage standards for the day. There are rules for the transport of various cargoes, including dangerous ones, by rail, water and air.

In order to reduce the risk of using explosives that have a liquid consistency, rules were introduced for the carriage of liquids in an airplane. They only touch hand luggage and do not apply to the rest of the baggage.

In accordance with these rules, you can take aboard the aircraft: water, soup, cream, lotion, perfumes, various cosmetics, etc. But the volume of each package can not be more than 100 ml. They should be placed in a transparent plastic container, which is provided free of charge. It has a size of 18x20cm and can be closed again. The total volume of liquid that is in the container is not more than 1 liter.

In carry-on baggage, it is allowed to transport medications, as well as baby or diet food. They should be presented in the inspection zone separately from other things. But you need to be ready to prove that you really need them in flight. To do this, you must present a prescription or medical certificate.
