3 Mistakes to Avoid When Shipping Hazardous Materials

Shipping hazardous materials safely requires careful planning. It can be tricky, which is why we at GFFCA, experts in specialized freight shipping, have put together a list of three big mistakes you should avoid:

Common Mistakes in Shipping Hazardous Materials

Here are some common mistakes people make when Hazardous goods shipping:

Not Labeling Hazardous Materials Correctly

A frequent mistake is not labeling the packages that contain hazardous materials properly. It’s important to clearly mark these packages so that everyone handling them knows they contain dangerous goods. For example, if you’re sending flammable liquids, you need to label the package as “Class 3 hazardous materials” and include any special handling instructions. Failing to do this can be dangerous and might even cause your shipment to be turned away. Always take the time to label everything clearly.

Assuming Something is Not Hazardous

There are nine different categories of hazardous materials, and many items fall into these categories. Sometimes, people handling shipments might not check if an item is hazardous or might assume it’s safe when it’s not. This can lead to serious fines if you’re caught shipping these as regular items.

Some commonly overlooked hazardous items include:

*Magnetized materials

*Lithium batteries

*Dry ice

*Samples from patients

*Pneumatic accumulators

*Scientific instruments with gases

*Engines with leftover fuel

*Charged capacitors

Choosing the Wrong Way to Ship

Some hazardous materials need to be kept at a certain temperature-controlled shipping. If this is the case, you should use a temperature-controlled truck instead of a regular truck to prevent any risks due to temperature changes. It’s best to work with a professional shipping company to make sure your goods are transported safely and correctly.

Navigating Toxic and Infectious Substances: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction: In our modern world, the transportation and handling of hazardous materials, including toxic and infectious substances, is a critical concern. The Australian Institute of Dangerous Goods Consultants (AIDGC) plays a pivotal role in promoting safety and best practices in this domain. In this blog post, we delve into the complexities of toxic and infectious substances, discussing their characteristics, regulations, handling, and mitigation strategies.

Understanding Toxic and Infectious Substances: Toxic Substances: Toxic substances are materials that can cause harm to living organisms upon exposure. They can have acute or chronic effects, impacting human health and the environment. These substances can be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, making proper handling and storage crucial.

Infectious Substances: Infectious substances, on the other hand, are materials containing pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi) that can cause disease in humans, animals, or plants. Handling infectious substances requires stringent precautions to prevent the spread of illnesses and protect public health.

Regulatory Framework: To ensure the safe transportation, handling, and disposal of toxic and infectious substances, a robust regulatory framework is in place. The AIDGC collaborates with organizations such as the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code) to establish guidelines for classification, packaging, labeling, and transportation of these materials. Adhering to these regulations is essential to minimize risks and prevent accidents.

Safe Handling and Transportation:

Proper Packaging and Labeling: Toxic and infectious substances must be packaged in containers that can withstand leaks or breakages. Appropriate labels and markings should be used to indicate the nature of the material and necessary precautions.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Workers handling toxic and infectious substances should wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, masks, goggles, and protective clothing, to minimize exposure risks.

Training and Education: Training programs should be implemented to educate workers about the hazards associated with these substances, safe handling procedures, and emergency response protocols.

Emergency Preparedness: Facilities handling toxic and infectious substances must have well-defined emergency plans in place, detailing procedures to follow in case of leaks, spills, or accidents.

Mitigation Strategies:

Substitution: Whenever possible, consider using less hazardous alternatives to toxic substances to reduce risks.

Engineering Controls: Implement ventilation systems, containment barriers, and other engineering controls to limit exposure to toxic and infectious materials.

Isolation and Containment: Isolate areas where these substances are stored or handled to prevent accidental exposure.

Waste Management: Develop proper waste disposal strategies to ensure that these substances do not pose long-term risks to the environment.

Conclusion: Toxic and infectious substances pose significant challenges in terms of safety, health, and environmental impact. The AIDGC’s dedication to promoting best practices in handling these materials is crucial for safeguarding public health and minimizing potential disasters. By adhering to regulations, implementing appropriate safety measures, and staying informed about the latest advancements, we can effectively navigate the complexities associated with toxic and infectious substances.

Historic Plaster is a Lime-based plaster reinforced with animal hair, usually from horses, cows, goats or oxen.

There is a risk, albeit very minor indeed, that animal hair incorporated into plaster mixes before about 1900 (when greater controls were introduced) could be contaminated with anthrax.

Anthrax is a disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans through skin lesions, inhalation or ingestion and causes skin or pulmonary infections.

Generally, it is a very rare disease in the UK.

How come almost every rechargeable device in the world has a lithium battery which will one day, at the end of its life, swell up into a ticking time-bomb full of fire and toxic gas, and yet whenever this happens and I phone up my local council waste management department/recycling center/fire safety advice hotline like "Hi, i have a bomb, who do i give it to" they're all like
