  1. Transportation of Hazardous Chemicals Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chalermchai Chaikittiporn, Faculty of Public Health, Mahidol University, Thailand Conference on Chemical (Industrial) Disaster Management, Pipelines,Storages &Medical Preparedness Feb.11-13,2009 New,Delhi

  2. Topics of Presentation • An Overview of International Regulations concerning Transport of Dangerous Goods • Adaptation/Trend of Thai Regulations and ASEAN Agreement concerning Transport of Dangerous Goods

  3. Definition of Dangerous Goods When transporting Hazardous Chemicalswhich are classified to be “Dangerous for transport”into one of the total 9 classes based on the UN Classification Criteria, these Hazardous Chemicals are called “Dangerous Goods”. • Dangerous Goodsare Substances and Cargo, which, based on their • nature, • properties, and behavior as well as • conditions, • may cause, during the transport, a Hazardin particular to • the public safety , • the health of the people, • the damages and loss of the infrastructure and equipment, also • the negative effects and contamination to the environment

  4. International Regulations for Dangerous Goods Transport System • Multi-modal Transport: UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: a so-called “UN Model Regulations” or “Orange Book” • Road: The Restructured ADR of UNECE in Geneva, • Rail: The Restructured RID of OTIF in Bern, • Inland Waterways: The Restructured ADN of UNECE in Geneva, • Sea: IMDG Code of IMO in London, • Air: IATA-DGR ofICAO-TI of ICAO Montreal System of Linkage http://www.unece.org/trans/danger/danger.htm

  5. Past Dangerous Goods Incidents in Thailand Substance involved: Explosive Substances Substance involved: Explosive Substances Substance involved: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) 54 Deathwith97 injury 171 Deathwith99 injury Incident Place: Phang-Nga Province Date: 15 Feb 1991 Time:around 15:00hrs. Incident Place: Petchburi Road, Bangkok Date: 24 Sep 1990 Time:around 22:00 hrs. Incident Place: Express Way, Bangkok Date: 4 Sep 2001 Time:around 05:00hrs. Cause: Careless driving, low public awareness of consequence of explosive substances Cause: Careless driving and low standard of tank equipment Cause: Careless driving and misleading of emergency clean-up

  6. Thai Provisions Vol. 2 Thai Provisions Vol. 2 Thai Provisions Vol. 3 International Regulations for Dangerous Goods Transport System adopted to Thai Provisions

  7. Adaptation/Trend of Thai Regulations concerning Transport of Dangerous Goods Thai Provisions Volume 1 (TP1) Thai Provisions Volume 2 (TP2) Road Multi-Modal Based on the “ADR”, TP-II was approved by the cabinet on Dec 28, 2004 to be used as a framework regulations for transport of dangerous goods applicable to road transport Based on the “Orange Book”, TP-I was approved by the cabinet on May 23, 2000 to be used as a framework regulations for transport of dangerous goods applicable to all modes of transport Hazmat 1 Training Handbook

  8. Protocol 9: Agreement for transport of DG in transit in ASEAN Countries

  9. Key contents of Dangerous Goods Regulations TP2 & 3 = TP1 + UN Rec. or TP1 Modal Requirements Definition of classes/divisions Danger specific to one mode Classification of Dangerous Goods Test methods and criteria Name and UN Number Restrictions List of Dangerous Goods most commonly carried Main hazard and subsidiary risk • Transport conditions • Labeling • Assignment of packing group • Packing methods • Special provisions • Multi-modal tank transport Types of packaging allowed and quantity limitations UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Types of tanks allowed • Packing • Packaging • Intermediate Bulk containers • Multi-modal Tank Containers Construction requirements Placard Certification and approval Specific marks Marking Specific Labeling Labeling Consignment Procedures Specific items of information Transport documentation Exemption quantities Special exemption

  10. Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers - DGSA (Chapter 1.8.3) Consignee (1.4.2.3) Consignor ( 1.4.2.1) Responsible Persons/Bodies Packers (1.4.3.2) Drivers (8.2) Fillers (1.4.3.3) Loaders (1.4.3.1) Carriers (1.4.2.2) Parties involved in the chain of transport of dangerous goods: • Consignor • Packer Key Responsibilities • Loader • Carrier • Consignee
