Transportation emergency assistance

Canada has a similar organization for chemical transportation emergencies, called TEAP (Transportation Emergency Assistance Plan). It is operated as a public service by the Canadian Chemical Producer s Association through the cooperation and aid of the member companies who operate the Regional Response Centers (RRCs) throughout Canada. They are also available on a 24-hour basis. However, you need to call the center in the Canadian region where you are located. [Pg.273]

The modular approach is based upon the current capacity of the OPCW in terms of offers of assistance by States Parties (in the form of material and personnel), and the capacity of the Secretariat to store, maintain, transport, and distribute the items and resources most likely to be needed should a CW-related emergency arise. The components of this approach would involve a central stockpile of resources and equipment in the Organisation s headquarters, available for immediate dispatch to a requesting State Party, and in addition, stockpiles of resources which have been offered by States Parties and organised in the form of modules. The modules would be categorised into basic assistance modules (BAMs) for emergency assistance, and specialised assistance modules (SAMs) for supplementary and humanitarian assistance. The Secretariat would store BAMs and a very limited stockpile of humanitarian assistance, while both BAMs and SAMs would be stockpiled by the States Parties. The basic module could consist of pallet-packed items, ready to be airlifted within 12 hours after the request for assistance has been received. The BAMs in the headquarters stockpile will be identical to the BAMs stored by States Parties. This will facilitate identification, packing, dispatch, and the delivery of assistance. [Pg.75]

There are information resources on hazardous substances, such as the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center, CHEMTREC. It offers a public service hotUne for fire fighters, law enforcement, and other emergency responders, and for manufacturers and shippers to obtain information and assistance for emergency incidents involving chemicals and hazardous materials. Callers can obtain information on nearly three million material safety data sheets (MSDSs). [Pg.419]

A DOT regulation covers both domestic and international shipping (9). For transportation safety, the DOT has information for first responders to incidents involving elemental phosphoms (10). In addition, the Chemtrec phone number 1-800-424-9300 accesses DOT emergency information and assistance in the United States. Also, the phosphoms producers in the United States have estabUshed a Phosphoms Emergency Response Team (PERT) to assist in handling P emergencies. [Pg.352]

CAS Number - Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number A CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) Registry Number is a unique identifier that tells you, for example, that aeetone and dimethyl ketone are actually the same substance. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society. OSHA only requires certain items on an MSDS and a CAS number is not one of them. However, authors of MSDS s are allowed to add additional information, such as the CAS number, if they desire. The numbers you see on trucks on the highway are not CAS Numbers, butU.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) codes, which are not necessarily specific to each chemical. Their aim is to assist emergency responders. [Pg.523]
