Suggestions for transport of flammable gases

For the driver or handler who applies placards and handles gas cylinders and containers at loading, delivery or in the warehouse, plan for Nemesis clear lens safety glasses (YA3297), a Delta Plus Independence type 1 class E safety helmet (TA14LR), Clutch Gear water-repellent mechanic gloves (G408), Ranpro Airlok waterproof boots (VC405FUL) with steel plate and a fluorescent orange traffic vest (VV50) to stay visible on the road and at the loading station.

A gas leak cannot be recovered with an absorbent: to respond to an incident on the road or at the warehouse, keep people away and mark off the perimeter with 36 in traffic cones (EPTCONE36), red (ECT3RE9) or yellow (ECT3YE7) 3 in X 1000 ft DANGER barricade tape, a 10 ft expandable aluminum barrier (EPT999) and a battery-operated LED barricade light (LL177), constant or flashing, to signal the perimeter at night. A portable MSA Altair 4X multigas detector (DETEC4G) helps detect the presence of explosive gas. The perimeter and the measures to take depend on the material: check the 2024 ERG guide shown for the UN number on the shipping document.
