In case of emergency with vehicle carrying hazardous material, the hazard information can be obtained from the following-

1) Emergency Information Panel (EIP):

The emergency information panel indicates correct technical name of the substance being

transported, hazard class label, UN number of the substance, HAZCHEM code and telephone

number for emergency advice.

HAZCHEM code – helps the emergency response team to respond according to the hazardous

substance being transported.

2) Transport Emergency (TREM) card

Transport emergency (TREM) cards are carried in the cab of vehicles carrying dangerous

goods in quantities exceeding the exempt quantities.

The purpose is to instruct the driver in the event of an incident. They may also assist

emergency response workers, as they carry information which is specific to the particular

goods being carried. There must be a card for each dangerous goods item in the load.

3) MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

It provides comprehensive information of material, physical and chemical characteristics, physical hazards, health hazards, routes of chemical entry into the body, permissible exposure limits, precautions necessary for safe use etc.

Understanding HAZCHEM code on EIP

2. Welding spatters arresting canopy

The need:

High potential of fire incidents due to falling spatters.

Falling spatters may cause burn injury to workers.

Difficulty in fixing fire blanket at odd locations Advantage Canopy:

High fire-resistant blanket of 1000° C is used for canopy. No perforations.

Canopy can be accurately hanged just below the location of hot work. No scattering of

sparks.

Arrested sparks are diverted to pot

having small quantity of water to

quench spatters. No live sparks left

out.
