Safety aspects transportation

Certain types of equipment are specifically excluded from the scope of the directive. It is self-evident that equipment which is already regulated at Union level with respect to the pressure risk by other directives had to be excluded. That is the case with simple pressure vessels, transportable pressure equipment, aerosols and motor vehicles. Other equipment, such as carbonated drink containers or radiators and piping for hot water systems are excluded from the scope because of the limited risk involved. Also excluded are products which are subject to a minor pressure risk which are covered by the directives on machinery, lifts, low voltage, medical devices, gas appliances and on explosive atmospheres. A further and last group of exclusions refers to equipment which presents a significant pressure risk, but for which neither the free circulation aspect nor the safety aspect necessitated their inclusion. 

The lower volatihty of JP-8 is a significant factor in the U.S. Air Force conversion from JP-4, since fires and explosions under both combat and ordinary handling conditions have been attributed to the use of JP-4. In examining the safety aspects of fuel usage in aircraft, a definitive study (15) of the accident record of commercial and military jet transports concluded that kerosene-type fuel is safer than wide-cut fuel with respect to survival in crashes, in-flight fires, and ground fueling accidents. However, the difference in the overall accident record is small because most accidents are not fuel-related. 

Transportation should be considered when assessing risks associated with planned or existing plants. The design of new chemical processing units should include at the earliest opportunity a qualitative or quantitative risk assessment of the whole system including production, use, and transportation in order to minimize overall risk. A brief discussion of the inherent safety aspects of transportation is included in Chapter 5.

Today, DDESB is concerned with the same explosives safety aspects of munitions manufacture, storage, transportation, and disposal as was recommended by Congress in 1928. An additional functional area added in 1968 by the Secretary of Defense is the establishment of chemical safety standards and a chemical safety program for chemical agents and components of chemical ammunition. 

If not produced in the laboratory itself where it will be used, the CRM must be delivered properly to the end-user. Additional packaging precautions and transport safety aspects need to be considered. During transport, the main risk is due to shock...

John C. Allen is vice president of transportation at Battelle Memorial Institute. Prior to joining Battelle in 1983, he served as transportation economist and policy analyst with the U.S. Department of Transportation s Office of Hazardous Materiel Transportation. Mr. Allen has managed and participated in numerous studies involving the policy, regulatory, institutional, and safety aspects of transporting hazardous and nuclear materials. He has served on various National Research Council (NRC) advisory panels and has been chairman of the Transportation Research Board s Committee on Hazardous Materials Transportation for more than...

After review of the various safety aspects related to the handling, storage, transportation of chemical carcinogens, the minimum requirements for installing a room where these substances can be stored and handled in bulk quantities are presented. 

This is why NATO AC/258 (Group of Experts on the Safety Aspects of Transportation and Storage of Military Ammunition and Eixplosives) decided to take advantage of this new knowledge and reinvestigate some of the explosion effect models for future inclusion in their safety manual [12] as well as in a proposed NATO risk analysis manual.

The kinetics of the reaction and the properties of the catalyst, especially the thermal stability, will further narrow the range of possible reaction conditions and define a "window" of possible operating parameters. Process optimization, energy efficiency, and safety aspects will then determine at what conditions within the "window" the reactor should operate to give the optimum result. And then mathematical models are used to determine how big the reactor must be to obtain the performance (conversion and pressure drop) determined by the process optimization. Instrumentation is then considered, proper materials of construction are selected, catalyst loading and unloading is considered, possible transport limitations are determined, workshop manufacture is considered, and at last the design of the reactor is completed. The procedure is, of course, iterative since the reactor cost is one of the parameters in the economical optimization, but, as mentioned above, often a factor of minor importance for the overall result. 

Fire safety covers those safety aspects involved with fire, fire prevention, fire protection, and fire suppression. This safety aspect crosses many different boundaries and interfaces of a system. For example, a particular system may have common fire safety concerns during facility storage, transportation, handling, operation, maintenance, and disposal. Fire is a potential common-cause failure mode that can cause the simultaneous failure of redundant equipment. 

Rail transportation safety covers those safety aspects involved with rail-type transportation systems, such as railroads and airport people moving systems. Rail safety-related hazards and safety concerns include ... 

The study with the objective to evaluate the technical conditions and possibilities of dismantling, lifting, transportation and disposal of the full-size RPV s in one piece was started in 1989. Also a cost calculation, time schedule and the safety aspects was to be studied.
