32 RECOMMENDATIONS • Improved operational business efficiency and cost savings; • Reduction in accidents and resulting environmental damages; • Improved system of safety, health and environmental governance to control private terminal operators; • Improved handling of dangerous cargoes and waste materials; and • Reduction of safety, health and environmental risk through improved access control in port;• Port Safety Health and Environmental Management System (PSHEMS) Code; and • ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in ports, 2005. ACTIONS Technical and Management Ports and terminals should develop HSE management systems. The main goals of this HSE management system are to: • provide the framework and tools to manage evolving HSE issues quickly and easily; • prevent injuries of employees, contractors or visitors; • prevent damage to equipment; and • prevent harm to the environment. Institutional and Capacity Building Member Countries and port authorities should ensure that port and terminal operators develop a HSE management system. Training courses for implementing and auditing a PHEMS to be provided. 2.3.4.2 Segregation and Storage of Dangerous Goods RECOMMENDATION Member Countries should determine minimum standards for the storage and segregation of dangerous goods. Challenge At some ports, dangerous goods are not properly segregated or there are no designated areas for storing dangerous goods. Failure to segregate dangerous goods properly can result in a violent chemical reaction with other dangerous goods which can lead to fire, explosion or release of toxic vapours and injury to personnel. The National Working Groups determined that there is a general need for training regarding the storage and handling of dangerous goods. Insufficient training can lead to misjudgment of hazards relating to dangerous goods, increasing the risk of accidents/personal injury. Storage and segregation of dangerous goods is critical. Major incidents have already occurred because non-compatible dangerous goods were stored next to or on top of each other and, in turn, reacted violently. Generally, different classes of dangerous goods should be stored separately, at least 3 m apart, and in some situations stored in different rooms. Bunding must be provided and storage areas must be clean, tidy and free of flammable materials, well ventilated and have appropriate emergency spill kits and firefighting equipment.
For the segregation table the following division of classes according IMDG code is used: References � Class 1 Explosives � Class 2.1 Flammable Gases � Class 2.2 Non-Toxic, Non-Flammable Gases � Class 2.3 Toxic Gases � Class 3 Flammable Liquids � Class 4.1 Flammable Solids � Class 4.2 Spontaneously Combustible Substances � Class 4.3 Substances Which, in Contact with Water, Emit Flammable Gases � Class 5.1 Oxidising Substances � Class 5.2 Organic Peroxides � Class 6.1 Toxic Substances (Liquids and Solids) � Class 6.2 Infectious Substances � Class 7 Radioactive Material � Class 8 Corrosives (Liquids and Solids) � Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Substances and Articles PORTS AND TERMINALS 33 • Dangerous Goods Safety Guidance Note S02/09, Risk Assessment for Dangerous goods, Government of Western Australia, December 2009; and • International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), Volume 1-2. ACTIONS Technical and Management Dangerous goods cargo areas should have separate areas with all necessary facilities appropriate to the intrinsic hazardous properties of the dangerous goods that are stored if necessary. These facilities should be provided with separate ventilation, drainage, fire resistant walls and ceilings etc. Dangerous goods cargo areas should, where possible, be located so that management and/or security personnel may keep them under continuous observation. Otherwise, an alarm system may be provided or the spaces inspected at frequent intervals. All dangerous goods delivered in the port area should be marked, documented, packaged and labelled or placarded in accordance with the IMDG Code. If no general segregation is required, the individual requirements of the IMDG Code shall be consulted. A recommended intermodal shipping document should be used for dangerous goods. This document should contain such information as needed for accurately booking, transporting and describing dangerous goods in a paper or electronically-transmitted document that could be used for highway, rail and vessel transport and intermodal transfers in international commerce.
