This issue has come to the fore in the light of recent court cases in which suspected terrorists have cited hazardous goods as potential targets.
In March 2004 the Department for Transport issued a Code of Practice on the Se of Dangerous Goods by Road. This voluntary code is designed to enhance the sec of dangerous goods being carried by road in the UK, with the aim of reducing their vulnerability to a terrorist attack. It establishes a framework to minimise risk of theft dangerous goods and relevant security measures.
The code covers a range of activities, including: accounting for dangerous goods movements; reviewing operations; risk assessment: reporting procedures; evaluatic testing of plans; and security of transport information and documents. Particular req ments are identified for goods which could be put to dangerous use.
Along with explosives and toxic gases, these include certain radioactive material fertilisers such as ammonium nitrate in bulk quantities. Hauliers serving the agricultL sector should pay particular attention to these.
