16. RESIDUAL RISKS
Residual risks and relevant regulations, present at the time of use of the GIR/IBC and which cannot be cancelled are summarised below.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISK:
– There remains the risk arising from the realisation of flying-type electrical connections (e.g. crocodiles), we recommend the preparation,
by the user, of permanent vehicular connection with battery isolator;
– During transport, the IBC must be connected with the equipotential metal frame of the vehicle, in particular where the floor has electric
insulation characteristics (e.g. wood);
– The positive-ignition engines of vehicles with gasoline, natural gas or LPG must be switched off during transfer operations;
– It is forbidden to use the transfer device within closed spaces, choosing instead open and airy outdoor areas at an adequate distance
from buildings;
– It is appropriate to provide for the cleaning and decontamination of workspaces from any spills or oil residues, as well as make sure
4 In the event that there are more dangerous goods belonging to ADR classes and different packing groups for calculating the maximum quantity of dangerous goods
transported under partial exemption refer to chap. 1.1.3 ADR.
5 Please note that, however, according to existing national regulations, there is a ban on carrying aboard the truck anyone who do not have a direct and demonstrable
function connected to loading/unloading/Transport
6 This means that the possession of the ADR licence by the driver may not be sufficient for compliance with the prescription, in case ADR changes have been issued
after the release. In such a case, the firm is required to ensure the adequate driver training, documenting it in the employee's personal file.
