When transporting dangerous goods, it is necessary to comply with all safety requirements provided for in the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as international agreements. To confirm the compliance of the condition of the vehicle and the qualifications of the personnel with the goods being transported, before transporting them, a list of documents required for the transportation of dangerous goods should be prepared.
Documents for the transportation of dangerous goods are divided into groups:
- Permitting documentation.
- Accompanying documents for transportation.
- Documentation for the driver indicating his suitability for this type of activity.
- Additional documentation designed to prevent consequences in case of emergency situations.
Permitting documents regulating the transportation of dangerous goods include a carrier's license, which is issued by the licensing authority after appropriate checks, as well as permission to conduct a flight indicating a specific route. Permission can be obtained from the State Highway Department or, if the traffic is carried out within the same municipality, from self-government bodies. If the road is privately owned, permission is obtained from its owner. In order to receive it, you should prepare a copy of a document from the traffic police stating that the characteristics of the car correspond to the cargo being transported.
