Must ADR training be taken for occasional nitrogen load?
Our general haulage company occasionally carries a single consignment of 10 bottles of nitrogen, securely protected in a purposebuilt safety cage as part of a mixed load Does this still fall under ADR regulations requiring the driver to be trained and the vehicle to carry markings and special equipment — all at extra cost? THE CARRIER NEEDS to establish exactly what it is being asked to carry; here it is UN1066 Nitrogen, compressed. Potentially up to 1,000 litres/kg may be carried, but the carrier still has conditions to comply with (in this case the capacity of each cylinder is 50 litres, so 10 x 50 = 500 litres). These conditions are covered by a small load exemption rule in ADR regulations (1.1.3.6 ADR2009).
The driver has to have received awareness training of the hazard and a record must be kept. The vehicle must carry a 2kg dry-powder fire extinguisher and the cylinders must be safely stowed.
The vehicle must also display a warning sign in letters not less than 25mm high, reading: "Warning — no ventilation — open with caution."
The rules also state that receptacles must be stowed in the vehicle or container so that they cannot overturn or fall.
The Health and Safety Executive website may also provide help with small load exemption guidance: http://bit.ly/atOagF
