1, Classification and Identification of Dangerous Goods
Dangerous goods are classified in detail based on their characteristics, such as explosives, flammable liquids, oxidants, toxic substances, radioactive substances, etc. Each type of hazardous material has its specific labeling and transportation requirements. These classifications and labels not only help identify hazardous materials, but also guide the handling, packaging, and storage of hazardous materials during transportation.
2, The taboo principle of dangerous goods transportation
The taboos of dangerous goods transportation are mainly based on the following principles:
Chemical reaction risk: Chemical reactions may occur between certain hazardous materials, leading to fires, explosions, or the production of toxic gases. For example, the co transportation of oxidants and flammable substances may cause fires; The co transport of strong acids and strong bases may result in violent neutralization reactions, releasing a large amount of heat and gas.
Physical property conflict: The physical properties of certain hazardous materials may pose safety hazards during transportation. For example, the co transportation of flammable liquids and high-temperature substances may increase the risk of fire; The co transportation of corrosive substances and fragile packaging materials may lead to packaging rupture and leakage.
Toxic superposition effect: Certain toxic substances may produce toxic superposition effects during co transportation, increasing their harm to the human body. For example, certain toxic gases may produce stronger toxicity or corrosiveness after mixing.
Radioactive contamination: The co transportation of radioactive materials with other hazardous materials may lead to the spread of radioactive contamination, increasing the harm to the environment and human health.
3, Specific examples of taboos for the transportation of dangerous goods together
Explosives and flammable liquids: Explosives may cause explosions when subjected to impact, friction, or high temperatures, while flammable liquids are prone to combustion. Therefore, these two types of dangerous goods cannot be transported together to prevent explosions from causing fires.
Oxidants and Combustible Substances: Oxidants can accelerate the combustion rate of combustible substances and even cause explosions. Therefore, oxidants and flammable substances cannot be transported together to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
Strong acid and strong base: Strong acid and strong base will undergo a violent neutralization reaction when mixed, releasing a large amount of heat and gas. This reaction may lead to packaging rupture, leakage, or even explosion. Therefore, strong acids and strong bases cannot be transported together.
Toxic gases and flammable substances: Toxic gases may cause harm to human health when leaked, while flammable substances are prone to combustion. These two types of dangerous goods cannot be transported together as they may increase the risk of fire and toxic gas leakage.
Radioactive substances and flammable and explosive substances: Radioactive substances require special protection and packaging during transportation to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination. Flammable and explosive substances are prone to causing fires and explosions. Therefore, radioactive substances cannot be transported together with flammable and explosive substances to prevent the accumulation of radioactive pollution and the risk of fire and explosion.
4, Supervision and Measures for the Co transportation of Dangerous Goods
In order to ensure the safety of dangerous goods transportation, governments and international organizations have established strict regulations for the transportation of dangerous goods. These regulations include the classification, packaging, labeling, labeling, transportation documents, and emergency measures for hazardous materials. At the same time, a regulatory system for the transportation of dangerous goods has been established to monitor and manage the entire process of dangerous goods transportation.
In terms of the co transportation of dangerous goods, regulations clearly indicate which dangerous goods cannot be co transported and provide corresponding handling measures. For example, for dangerous goods that cannot be transported together, they need to be loaded and transported separately; For hazardous materials that require special protection, additional packaging and protective measures need to be taken; For hazardous materials that may undergo chemical reactions, compatibility testing is required.
In addition, dangerous goods transportation enterprises also need to strengthen employee training, improve employees' awareness and skill level of dangerous goods transportation safety. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a sound emergency plan and rescue system to cope with possible dangerous goods transportation accidents.
