Posted By Henry 90+3!! Hi Iain, I have identified dangerous goods such as propane, oxygen cylinders, petrol,diesel,etc that colleagues are transporting to site, and have been asked to implement a identification process i.e labelling systems and instruction on how they should be transported to all our squads. What I was looking for was maybe a sample of any instruction or documentation that may give me ideas on this. Regards

Posted By IainThomson a instruction would unfortunately be to simple and the only documentation you can follow would be the ADR and the Carriage regulations themselves if I could get your email address or phone number this would allow me a better opportunity to understand what you are looking for.

Posted By ian milne Hi, agree with previous thread. If you transport these frequently, you may wish to ensure the 'team' are made aware of the labelling and control requirements and why. Also, consider getting a DGSA on your side as well. Transport companies try to ensuer that there are msds available.

Posted By Mike Palfrey Hi If you are only transporting small quantities i.e. less than 333 KG of propane or 333 litres of diesel for example then the ADR regs won't apply You can transport 1000 litres of oxygen before the Regs apply as well. The driver only needs to understand the nature of the hazards of the goods and make sure items are securely stowed. If more than 333kg is being moved let me know Regards Mike

Posted By Mick154 If you are transporting these goods for profit then it is not own-account transport and you come under the full regs The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment 2004 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/s...004/uksi_20040568_en.pdf and ADR 2007 Here is a link to the 2005 regs for ADR 2007 have not been put on the web yet there are a few changes Restructured Volume I and II Applicable as from 1 January 2005 Economic Commission for Europe Inland Transport Committee European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road ADR http://www.unece.org/tra...adr2005/05ContentsE.html The Transport of Dangerous Goods (Safety Advisers) Regulations 1999 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/s...999/uksi_19990257_en.pdf If you cannot find what you are looking for, ask your company DGSA as working through these you will find if you are complying If not, email me direct and I will try to help Mick
