What are the three certificates required for driving a hazardous materials vehicle?
1 Answers
You need to hold a "Hazardous Materials Professional Qualification Certificate" as well as a vehicle license and a driver's license. The hazardous materials transport permit should be applied for at the county-level public security authority of the government at the place of departure or destination of the transport. Regulations related to hazardous materials transport vehicles: Road transport of hazardous materials must be equipped with transport and loading/unloading devices that ensure safety, and must have professional operational managers and drivers who understand the properties of hazardous materials to guarantee transport safety. Regulations on cargo loading for hazardous materials transport vehicles: If the cargo loaded on a hazardous materials transport vehicle exceeds the approved load capacity by less than 30%, 3 points will be deducted, and the vehicle will be impounded; if the cargo exceeds the approved load capacity by 30% or more, 6 points will be deducted, and the vehicle will be impounded. Highway ban times for hazardous materials vehicles: In most provinces, the ban is between 0:00 and 6:00 a.m. daily because the risks associated with hazardous materials transport are much higher than those of regular transport vehicles. Safe driving speeds for hazardous materials vehicles: Under no circumstances should the driving speed exceed 80 km/h. In conditions of low visibility such as nighttime, rain, fog, ice, or snow, the speed should be reduced.
