Center for Chemical Process Safety CCPS Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Safety, Security and Risk Management 2008
Year: 2008 Language: english Author: American Institute of Chemical Engineers Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: Unknown Pages count: 202 Description: The transportation of chemicals and other hazardous materials on roads, railways, waterways, through pipelines, and by other modes and systems provides vital support for today’s economy and standard of living. Global trade has resulted in more transborder shipments of raw materials, consumer products, and hazardous wastes than ever before. The volume of traffic and the speed with which it moves continue to increase in both developed and developing countries, with some transportation systems operating at full capacity, thereby challenging the supporting infrastructure. Urban sprawl and population growth have brought people into closer contact with established transportation corridors, with much of the physical transportation infrastructure carrying both people and industrial shipments. Because the release of a chemical during transit poses a potential risk to surrounding communities, property, and the environment, the transportation of hazardous materials must be carefully managed. It is widely recognized that chemical transportation is more than just a service function that fills a business void; it is a comprehensive system of activities that involves numerous stakeholders with varying backgrounds and interests. Therefore, chemical transportation should address the entire supply chain of a commodity, spanning the delivery and handling of raw materials through the offloading and unpacking of finished products. Additionally, beyond the desire for accident-free chemical transport, the evolving threat of terrorism and other security concerns should be considered as part of a transportation risk management program. Since there may be tradeoffs between safety and security, this balance can challenge even the best business plans and risk management programs.
