Suggestions for transport of flammable gases

For the driver or handler who applies placards, composes the UN number and handles gas cylinders and containers at loading, delivery or in the warehouse, plan for 3M Solus clear anti-fog safety glasses (YAS1101), an MSA V-Gard type 1 class E safety helmet (TA80), cowhide leather gloves (G300) with safety cuffs for handling cylinders, Dunlop waterproof PVC steel toe boots (VC18820) and a Pioneer 6935 detachable high-visibility vest (V6935) to stay visible on the road and at the loading station.

To fill in the UN number in the blank panel, use the black-on-white UN numbering kit (ECLAUNNUM) of 500 self-adhesive digits or the self-adhesive UN digits (ECLACHIFFRES) sold in packs of 50. A gas leak cannot be recovered with an absorbent: to respond to an incident on the road, secure the vehicle with rubber wheel chocks (EPC32), signal it with the set of three removable reflectors (EPTR), mark off the perimeter with 18 in reflective traffic cones (EPTCONE) linked by the Tensacone retractable red and white striped belt (EPTCT), and keep people away with a 120 dB signal horn (EPMAV). A portable MSA Altair 4X multigas detector (DETEC4G) helps detect the presence of explosive gas. The choice of first aid kit depends on working conditions and access to medical services. Under CNESST criteria, 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). 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.
