This webinar will cover all aspects of transporting gases. In particular, it will help attendees to gain an understanding of the typical checks that should be carried out to ensure your gas container is safe for transport and meets the necessary legal requirements.
This webinar will be beneficial to anyone who transports gases and in particular those with DGSA responsibilities. The webinar will also address the following questions:
- What makes a cylinder safe to transport?
- How is a gas cylinder identified?
- What are the ‘pi’ and ‘rho’ marks, and how are they used on transportable pressure equipment?
- How should your vehicle be identified?
- How should you stow cylinders on a vehicle?
- What are the rules for small load exemptions, in accordance with ADR 1.1.3.6?
