Suggestions for transport of oxygen and oxidizing 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 and a 10 ft expandable aluminum barrier (EPT999); to light the scene at night, use a UK4AA-eLED anti-explosion flashlight (LL01), intrinsically safe for Class 1, Div. 1. Under CNESST rules, a truck driver is an isolated worker: the type 1 personal (TR01) first aid kit suits an isolated worker with no access to another kit, a vehicle with 1 to 5 workers, or a vehicle with more than 5 workers less than 30 minutes from medical services; for a vehicle with more than 5 workers more than 30 minutes from medical services, provide the type 2 basic (TR02M) first aid kit. Complete the truck's equipment with a portable road safety kit (TR16) and the set of three removable reflectors (EPTR) to signal a stopped vehicle. 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.
