Please keep the following safety instructions in mind!
1. Vehicle drivers and escorts engaged in the transportation of hazardous chemicals must all be trained in the relevant laws, rules and regulations, safety knowledge and professional techniques, and understand the nature of the hazardous chemicals being transported, their hazardous characteristics and emergency measures in the event of accidents. Only those who have passed the examination are allowed to work.
2. When carrying highly toxic, explosive, flammable or radioactive hazardous chemicals, tank-type vehicles or vans and special containers should be equipped. Vehicles should be installed with travel recorders and positioning systems.

At the same time, we should focus on checking whether vehicle signs and markings are complete. During transportation, inspections should be strengthened to be alert to the leakage of hazardous chemicals. Due to the bumps and vibrations of the vehicle during transportation, it is likely to cause package breakage and accidents.
4. Roads, lights, signs and fire-fighting facilities at the site of loading and unloading of dangerous chemicals must meet the conditions for safe loading and unloading. When loading or unloading hazardous chemicals, cars should be parked in the open air. Workers should pay attention to their own protection, wear necessary protective gear, strictly observe the operating procedures, load and unload lightly, and strictly prohibit falling, bumping, rolling, pressing and inverting.
5. Vehicles loaded with hazardous chemicals shall not be parked in schools, institutions, marketplaces, places of interest or scenic spots; if they must be loaded or unloaded or temporarily parked in such areas, safety measures shall be taken and the consent of the local public security department shall be obtained. When parking the vehicle, it should be guarded, and it is not permitted for idle persons to approach the vehicle, so as to ensure the safety of the vehicle.
