amended and updated since its entry into force, it contains the
conditions under which dangerous goods may be carried
internationally. This version has been prepared on the basis of
amendments applicable as from 1 January 2017. It contains in
particular new or revised provisions concerning for vehicles and
machineries; battery powered vehicles and equipment; marking and
labelling for lithium batteries in Class 9; instructions in
writing; construction and equipment of vehicles; use of LPG, CNG
and LNG as fuel for vehicles carrying dangerous goods.
The Model Regulations cover the classification of dangerous goods
and their listing, the use, construction, testing and approval of
packagings and portable tanks, and the consignment procedures
(marking, labelling, placarding and documentation). They aim at
ensuring a high level of safety by preventing accidents to persons
and property and damage to the environment during transport and,
providing at the same time, a uniform regulatory framework which
can be applied worldwide for national or international transport by
any mode
In this edition of Occupational Health and Safety Management, the
authors aim at validating the concept of safety ownership and the
application of safety excellence. The book highlights the roles and
functions of a safety practitioner and focuses on the legal
requirements and applications of providing a healthy and safe
workplace. The authors discuss hazard identification, at-risk
behaviour, and behaviour-based safety and risk assessment, through
a health and safety management approach.
