Modern challenges of dangerous and extraordinary goods transportations

Abstract

Dangerous goods – goods which, by the nature of their physical characteristics, chemical composition, dimensions, or other specific features and nature (live animals or fish), for some reason endanger human life or health, the environment natural or general order or material goods, including those with features of the principles of humanitarianism. The transport of dangerous and oversize goods is one of the most difficult specialties in the field of goods transport in public transport, in particular in road and rail transport. Such transport is regulated by a number of legal acts that do not apply to companies carrying out tasks related to the transport of loads, the so-called neutral. The United Nations has created a closed TN directory, giving everyone a four-digit “UN number”, at the same time dividing them into classes depending on the threat or the predominant threat. The provisions of the ADR agreement relate, inter alia, to the rules (requirements) for TN transport in terms of limiting the possible effects of a potential release of hazardous substances (e.g. as a result of road or rail collisions), as well as, above all, the forms and principles of preventing the possibility of such events. The transport of dangerous goods is a special type of transport and it is subject to specific legal provisions, meeting and observing a number of specific requirements. The safety of this type of transport depends on the proper organization of its transport and the maximum involvement of participants in the entire process. The organization of the transport of hazardous materials requires a comprehensive, comprehensive view of the vehicle, packaging and cargo (means of transport and packaging should be adapted to the transported goods) as well as people involved in the preparation of transport, drivers with appropriate authorizations and training, setting the route, securing this routes in terms of maintaining safety in the event of an emergency. The article offers the author’s approaches to the investigation of modern challenges of dangerous and extraordinary goods transportations.

Небезпечні вантажі це товари, які за своїми фізичними характеристиками, хімічним складом, розмірами або іншим специфічним характеристикам і характером (живі тварини або риба) з яких-небудь причин становлять небезпеку для життя або здоров’я людини, навколишнього середовища, громадського порядку або матеріальних цінностей. Перевезення небезпечних і негабаритних вантажів – один з найскладніших напрямків у сфері вантажних перевезень транспорту, зокрема автомобільного та залізничного. Такі перевезення регулюються низкою правових актів, які не поширюються на нейтральні компанії, що виконують завдання, пов’язані з перевезенням даних категорій вантажів. У статті пропонуються авторські підходи до дослідження сучасних проблем перевезення небезпечних і нестандартних вантажів.
