Short Description
Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Safety, Security, and Risk Management, 2nd Edition outlines current transportation risk analysis software programs and demonstrates several available risk assessment programs for land transport by rail, truck, and pipeline for consequences that may affect the public or the environment. This new edition introduces possible transportation risk reduction techniques for consideration including loading and unloading checklists for several transport modes (i.e. truck, rail, marine, intermodal, and containers). It develops specific operating procedures and checklists to reduce human error and discusses considerations for transportation security, including threat and vulnerability assessments and potential countermeasures. A summary of key transportation security regulations, guidelines, and industry initiatives (e.g. DOT HM-232, IMO ISPS, AAR) is also given. The book also discusses the Responsible Care Management System for Distribution and Security and the initiatives of member companies excelling in code commitment and includes guidance on consultant selection when developing a transportation risk program. Finally, the book obtains perspectives of both the carrier and shipper.
