Marine pollutant placard applications

This placard is intended for shippers and carriers of materials designated as marine pollutants or environmentally hazardous, especially for transport by vessel and multimodal transport. Cardboard is handy for a one-time shipment, rigid plastic is reused from one trip to the next, and self-adhesive vinyl stays in place on a tank or container dedicated to these materials.

Complete your display with the class 9 miscellaneous dangerous goods placard (ECLA9), the aluminum flip chart placard with fourteen (ECLAP14) legends for trucks whose cargo changes, and the yellow and black warning tape (ECT751) to mark off the storage area.

Suggestions for marine pollutant transport

For the driver or handler who deals with environmentally hazardous materials at loading, delivery or in the warehouse, plan for Centurion splash goggles (YG454), a 6000 series full face respirator (R6800) with organic vapour cartridges (R60921), selected according to the SDS and the risk assessment, 18 in nitrile gloves (GL37185), waterproof PVC steel toe boots (VC18821C) and a flame-resistant high-visibility vest (VV510FR) to stay visible on the road and at the loading station.

To contain and respond to a spill, keep a 3 mil polyethylene sheet (SACCT2) close at hand to cover the powder, a resealable HDPE drum (ABHERP01) in the 15 US gallon (56.8 L) size, to collect solids, a polyurethane storm drain cover (ABUC), a universal mini spill kit for truckers (ABUV) in a resealable bag, to keep in the truck, a 10 lb ABC dry chemical (EXABC10) extinguisher or a 10 lb CO₂ (EXCO10) unit, and 28 in traffic cones (EPTCONE28B) to mark off the perimeter.
