Info

The transportation of abnormal goods is highly dangerous and has a huge impact on other road users, communities and infrastructure. Super-loads usually travel at snail’s pace and traffic officials are requested to accompany vehicles for the duration of the trip to ensure minimum interruption of traffic flow . If the vehicle including the load meets one of the follow ing, then it is classified as an abnormal load: at least 26 ton w eight; at least 2.6 m w idth, or at least 4.3 m height. Route planning is carried out by the applicant. There is detail planning of the route for the transportation of the extra-heavy freight through the national road netw ork. Tow ns and cities along the route are notified in advance. Depending on the magnitude of the load traffic officials may be required to escorts the abnormal load. Traffic officials will only escort the load w ithin their municipal boundaries. Therefore, loads traversing several municipal boundaries and Provinces require involvement of the respective traffic officials. Further, abnormal loads traversing Provinces require a permit from each Province. The criteria for vehicle escort are as follow s:3.3 m w idth – 1 escort; 3.8 m w idth – 2 escort; and 4.8 m w idth – traffic police escort. In areas w here travelling is difficult and traffic may be severely affected, it is often the responsibility of the transporter to construct special lay-byes onto w hich the heavy vehicles are draw n from time to time to allow for passing traffic. Applicants are required to apply for a permit for each consignment through the provincial department of transport in Pretoria. The permit details the destination, type of load carried and the route to be follow ed, and the estimated w eight. The information must be fairly accurate in order for the traffic officers to approve the abnormal vehicle and load through the various municipal boundaries. The duration for the application of a permit varies from one to three days. The common routes for NATRO from the GautengProvince are N3 (Durban), N1/R59 Cape Tow n, N4 to Botsw ana ultimately Zambia, and N17 to RichardsBay. The abnormal load can only be transported during w eekday from 6:00 to 18:00, but not during peak periods. The industry is advocating for the review of this rule w hich is based on an outdated TRH 11 guideline document. Hence the CSIR and DoT are currently review ing the TRH 11 guideline document that w ill further improve the process. 11.1.4 Hazardous Materials Many mineral inputs that are integral factors of industrial production are poisonous, flammable, explosive, corrosive or in other w ays potentially harmful.Strict government regulations have been imposed to control the transportation of hazardous materials and substances. The classification systems for hazardous materials have been implemented. In doing this, DoT adopted the recommendations of the United Nations. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials must be identified by the correct signage and a trained driver must carry documentation to supplement the information on the sign. The legislation for the transportation of hazardous materials is included in Chapter 8 of the National Road Traffic Act, 1996, as well as other additional Sections and Regulations contained in the Act. The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) has SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 162 31 Aug 2010
also developed standard specifications relating to the transportation of hazardous materials. A list of these codes is as follow s: • SABS 0228 - The identification and classification of dangerous goods and substances:This code identifies each of the substances or goods listed as dangerous and sets out information including the United Nations number, the correct technical name and other information pertinent to the substance. • SABS 0229 - The packaging of dangerous goods for road and rail transportation:This codes contains information on acceptable packaging for dangerous goods and substances and also includes requirements for the testing of packages and the correct marking and labelling of packages. • SABS 0233 - Intermediate bulk containers for dangerous substances:This code stipulates the requirements for intermediate bulk containers and covers the suitability of the containers and the substances that are permitted to be transported in the intermediate bulk containers. • SABS 1518 - Design requirements for road tankers:This code stipulates design requirements for normal road tankers transporting dangerous goods and includes the type of materials permitted in the manufacture of the tankers. • SABS 1398 - Road tank vehicles for petroleum-based flammable liquids:This code stipulates design specifications for tankers transporting petroleum-based flammables. • SABS 0230 - Inspection requirements for road vehicles:This code includes statutory inspection requirements for all vehicles transporting classified dangerous goods including the safety aspects of both the motive unit and the goods containment area. Minimum inspection requirements by both in-house and outside agencies are listed. • SABS 0231 - Operational requirements for road vehicles:This code sets out operational rules and procedures for transporting dangerous goods and substances and includes the responsibilities of the ow ner/operator of a dangerous goods vehicle. The code specifies driver qualifications and driver duties before transporting dangerous goods as w ell as behaviour expected on route. The code also includes a statutory requirement for the drafting of operational agreements betw een the responsible parties for the loading, transportation and off-loading of dangerous goods. • SABS 0232 Part 1 - Emergency information systems:This code includes details of new placarding requirements for vehicles transporting dangerous goods and information on individual exempt quantities and the compatibility requirements of multi loads. • SABS 0232 Part 3 - Emergency information systems:This code contains information on emergency response guides to be used in the case of an incident. Certain aspects of the above codes of practice w ill be incorporated in law enforcement procedures pertaining to the transportation of classified dangerous goods and substances and w ill be explained during the course of the training. SANS 10228:2006, The Identification and Classification of Dangerous Goods for Transport details the classification of dangerous goods and indicates on w hich modes of transportation the respective goods are dangerous. The standard classifies dangerous goods according to nine classes, relating to the type of hazard and three packing groups relating to the degree of danger posed w ithin the class. The nine classes of dangerous goods are: • Class 1: Explosives SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 163 31 Aug 2010
