Q1
List the hazards that may be encountered when transporting chemicals.
There are numerous perils involved when transporting hazardous materials. These include damage
in transit, loss and theft, fire and smoke, the risk of explosion, leaks and spills, and immediate or
delayed poisoning. Many goods are not dangerous themselves but contain harmful substances
which could cause harm to the environment, people or both.

Q3
Describe the procedures for the following;
a) Vehicle selection
Specific guidelines apply if one transit materials categorised as dangerous. The preliminary step is to
identify the hazards involved and classify the elements (Armour, 2016). One should then make sure
loads are safe, weight evenly distributed and one put appropriate warning indication on vehicles. If
one is transporting dangerous goods by road or rail, the following ought to be observed: use proper
packaging which is well labelled so that everybody in contact with it can take precise precaution
(Hemond & Fechner, 2014). Use an appropriate vehicle, container, tank or wagon according to the
classification of the materials displaying specific information. If required, about the goods on the car
or vessel follow proper procedures when products are being loaded and unloaded. Road vehicles
must carry specified types of safety equipment such as fire extinguishers. One may also need a
qualified dangerous goods safety adviser (Dikshith, 2016). All drivers must have suitable training,
not just to drive their vehicle, but also on what to do if an accident occurs.
PC (1.3)
b) Tie down:
Packages for dangerous goods, such as steel drums, plastics drums, plastics sacks, and boxes of
various kinds, are carefully designed and manufactured to ensure that the contents are entirely
contained under normal transport conditions. However, except for some packages for radioactive
materials and infectious substances, they are not designed to withstand accident conditions, such as
a high-speed collision, or overheating in a vehicle fire. It is therefore essential that the packages be
secured so that they do not fall off the vehicle, even in the event of a vehicle collision or overturn. It
is best achieved by carrying them in caged, closed or curtain-sided bodies. If not, they should be
well secured with load sheets, nets and straps. Tight stowage is also necessary to prevent friction or
chafing between packages during transport, which could lead to damage and leakage. It is essential
that packages are inspected before loading and those that show signs of damage or leakage should
not be loaded (Hemond & Fechner, 2014).

Use the right tie-downs to secure your loads. The first step in ensuring a load begins with tie-downs
such as straps, ropes, or chains. Weight and gravity alone will not hold items in place. A cargo bar
buttresses against the sides of the truck bed, helping to prevent things from sliding or tipping.
PC (1.4)
c) Spill response
Avert the spread of dirt and vapours
If possible neutralise acids and bases
Regulate the range of the liquid
Absorb the liquid
Collect and contain the clean-up remains
Dispose of the wastes
Decontaminate the area and affected equipment.
PC (CA2)
d) Emergency response:
Abandon the structures as directed to do so by the emergency group.
March quickly and quietly to the gathering area or as directed by the emergency personnel.
Wait in the assembly field in groups.
Remove anything remaining in the mouth. Unless a victim is unconscious, having a seizure, or
cannot swallow, give about two ounces of water to drink. Call the poison centre. Do not try to
neutralise a poison by giving; raw eggs, salt water, mustard, vinegar or citrus fruit juices as an
antidote or to cause vomiting.

neutralise a poison by giving; raw eggs, salt water, mustard, vinegar or citrus fruit juices as an
antidote or to cause vomiting. If the person vomits, turn his or her head to the side to prevent
choking. Start CPR if the body shows no signs of consciousness, such as moving, breathing or
coughing.
In case of injury
Get operators to a safe area. Do not risk other losses, and move any injured worker away from a
dangerous area.
Assess the situation
Call help centre and assist the injured
Gather information and keep evidence
PC (KA3)
f) Location of SDS:
Have stock identifiers ready, such as product name and code. Try to find the name of the business.
Go on the website of the producer of the commodity. Once one is on the producer's website, see if
they have a part where they have their MSDSs/SDSs free to the people. One can then explore over
their MSDSs/SDSs and determines the one for your goods.
If one bought the product from a seller and did not receive the SDS on the producer's website, go on
the distributor's website to know if they make MSDSs/SDSs free for the commodities that they offer
and market.
If one still has not found the SDS of the product, go to specific websites that store SDSs and allow
to search and download a certain number of SDSs for free. Reach to the producer or distributor of
the merchandise directly and inquire the SDS if one has still not found it.

g) Transportation log books:
Established chemical logbooks enhance the ability to track the chemicals in case of safety incident.
