The "Administrative Regulations for the Transport of Road Dangerous Goods," which came into effect on July 1, 2013, require transporters to implement proper safety measures and be equipped with essential protective gear and emergency response equipment. Dangerous goods are substances that can pose serious risks during transportation, such as being flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, or radioactive. These materials need special handling during loading, unloading, storage, and transit, as they can cause severe injuries, loss of life, or property damage. Common examples include gasoline, explosives, strong acids, strong bases, benzene, peroxides, liquid ammonia, and liquid nitrogen. To ensure safety, appropriate protective equipment like gas masks, chemical-resistant clothing, gloves, and boots should be used. While different types of gas masks are designed for specific hazards, a full-face respirator offers broader protection and is often recommended for general use. Full-face masks protect the eyes, face, and respiratory system, offering comprehensive safety in hazardous environments.

Since the implementation of the updated "Regulations on the Administration of Road Dangerous Goods Transport," several drivers have faced penalties for failing to comply with these rules. This highlights the importance of equipping vehicles with necessary safety tools and emergency supplies. It’s crucial for transporters to prioritize personal and vehicle safety by adhering to these regulations. According to Article 64, Paragraph 3 of the regulations, if a transporter fails to take adequate safety precautions or does not provide the required protective equipment and rescue tools, local road transport authorities may order them to make corrections and impose fines ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 yuan. In cases of non-compliance, the company could be ordered to halt operations. If the violation leads to criminal behavior, legal consequences will follow. Therefore, it's vital for all involved in the transport of dangerous goods to strictly follow the guidelines and ensure proper safety protocols are in place at all times.
