Safety precautions for Isuzu tank truck transportation
Safety precautions for Isuzu tank truck transportation
December 15, 2023
Isuzu tank truck is a vehicle specially used to transport various types of flammable, explosive oils, chemicals and other dangerous goods. Isuzu tank trucks need to pay special attention to safety when transporting dangerous goods to prevent dangerous incidents from occurring. Next, let’s talk about the safety precautions for tank truck transportation.
1. Preparation before loading
Before loading flammable or explosive items, you must first check the operating conditions of the tanker, including the tanker's tires, lights, brakes and other safety equipment to ensure that they are intact. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether there is magnetic field interference on the car body and surroundings, as well as the strength of the magnetic field outside the car. Before placing flammable gases and liquids, the magnetic field strength should be measured to ensure that it is within a safe range.
2. Precautions when loading
When loading a tanker truck, you must first determine whether the type and loading amount of oil are in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. At the same time, loading technical regulations must be to ensure the stability and safety of tank truck loading.
When loading, you must pay attention to the following points:
1. Keep the air circulation around the tanker truck clear to prevent the accumulation of static electricity and the possibility of explosion.
2. Ensure that the exhaust pipe of the tank truck is unobstructed to avoid excessive pressure inside the tank, which may cause dangerous accidents.
3. Anti-static measures must be taken when loading Isuzu tank trucks, including using conductive hoses and installing grounding devices to reduce the possibility of frictional electrification and static sparks.
4. When tank trucks are loaded with dangerous goods, leakage must be avoided. If unloading is required, transport personnel are required to conduct stability and leakage tests.
3. Precautions when driving
When driving a tank truck, you must comply with relevant laws and regulations, including:
1. Keep the driving speed appropriate and avoid sharp turns, acceleration or braking to prevent dangerous incidents such as overturning and rollover of the tanker truck.
2. Tank trucks must abide by traffic rules when driving to reduce accidents such as collisions. Tank trucks must not make sudden turns or change lanes while driving, and must stop and wait when encountering traffic signs such as red lights.
3. The braking system of a tanker truck must be checked before driving to prevent dangerous incidents due to brake failure, short braking distance, etc.
4. Tank trucks must keep sufficient distance when driving to avoid collision with other vehicles.
4. Response measures to emergency situations
In response to emergency situations such as tanker explosions, leaks, accidents, etc., the following measures should be taken:
1. After an accident, the driver should immediately seek help from the people around him and call 120, 110 and other emergency numbers to report the time, location, casualties, etc. of the accident.
2. When an accident such as an explosion or leakage of a tank truck occurs, emergency evacuation must be carried out immediately and personnel must be safely moved away from the scene.
3. The fuel valve and air valve of the tank truck should be closed immediately, and other necessary measures should be taken to control the development of the accident, prevent the accident from happening, eliminate the impact of the accident as soon as possible, and reduce losses.
In short, we must always pay attention to the safety of tank truck transportation, especially when transporting flammable and explosive chemicals, we must be extra careful and pay more attention. Strengthen the construction of emergency plans, implement scientific responses, and ensure safe transportation on a regular basis to avoid accidents.
