SAFETY IN TRANSPORTING GAS PRODUCTS

Industrial gas products in compressed, liquefied, or dissolved forms are classified as hazardous materials. During transportation, strict safety measures must be followed to prevent risks of fire, explosion, or gas leakage that may endanger people, vehicles, and the environment.

I. General Safety Requirements

• 🚛 Transport vehicles: Must be certified for gas transport, equipped with restraints and warning signs such as “DANGEROUS GOODS” or “GAS UNDER PRESSURE.”
• 👷 Operators: Must be trained in chemical safety and emergency handling. Required PPE includes anti-slip footwear, gloves, safety vests, etc.
• 📦 Loading & securing: Cylinders must be upright with valves facing upward, secured with pallets, racks, or straps. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.

II. Precautions by Gas Type

• 🔥 Flammable gases (C2H2, H2, LPG…): Transport separately from oxidizing gases. Keep away from sparks, static electricity, or high heat.
• 🧯 Oxidizing gases (O2, N2O…): Must not come into contact with oil or grease. Use valve protection caps and proper labeling.
• ☠️ Toxic or asphyxiant gases (CO2, NH3…): Never transport in closed, unventilated vehicles. Use gas detectors and respiratory protection.
• ❄️ Cryogenic liquids: Ensure safety valves are functional. Avoid tilting or shaking. Use ventilated vehicles only.

III. Emergency Response Guidelines

• 🟡 Minor leak: Stop the vehicle in a safe location, notify technical team, use soapy water or foam to detect leaks.
• 🔴 Major leak or explosion: Evacuate the area, call emergency services (e.g., 114), and follow emergency procedures.
• ⚠️ Collision or cylinder drop: Inspect for damage. Do not attempt to reopen valves or reuse without inspection.
