The British Association of Dangerous Goods Professionals (BADGP) are to host a free online webinar 11 July 1.00pm to 2.30pm to raise the profile on safety for the public and environment, when dealing with transportation of dangerous goods, with our Director Rosalind Wall and Deputy Divisional Manager Elizabeth Shovelton to speak at the event.
The 11 July date has been chosen as it is the anniversary of a dangerous goods disaster: Los Alfaques. This occurred in Spain in 1978 and involved a road tanker explosion near a holiday campsite. The exploding truck, which was carrying 23 tons of highly flammable liquefied propylene, killed 215 people and severely burned 200 more. Several individuals from the company that owned the vehicle were prosecuted for criminal negligence.
The webinar will include a review of the Los Alfaques disaster with lessons learned and the impact it had on dangerous goods regulations; raising awareness of moving dangerous goods safely and the requirement to have a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor; common misconceptions about dangerous goods and common substances/articles that are considered dangerous goods.
