Hazardous materials are classified according to their properties into those that are explosive, flammable, corrosive, etc. Regardless of their type, any accident that occurs during the transportation of such hazardous materials will certainly cause far greater damage than accidents involving ordinary vehicles. China’s traffic laws impose strict requirements on trucks used for transporting hazardous goods as well as on their drivers. Persons transporting hazardous materials must not only obtain a driving license appropriate for the vehicle they operate, but also undergo training in relevant laws and regulations, specialized knowledge, emergency response, etc., as required. Only after passing the examinations and obtaining the corresponding qualification certificate for handling hazardous materials can they take up their duties. However, having the “two certificates” only indicates that the driver meets the qualifications to work in this field; it does not mean that they are a qualified hazardous materials transporter. A brief discussion on the professional qualities required of hazardous materials transporters. Good driving habits The driving habits of transport drivers are crucial for road safety. As the saying goes, “If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet.” Most traffic accidents occur due to bad driving habits, such as speeding, reckless lane changes, and running red lights. These habits, which can lead to serious consequences for ordinary vehicles, should be avoided even more by those who transport hazardous materials. Without basic driving skills, the vehicle itself becomes a hazard for the driver. A high sense of responsibility is reflected first and foremost in the maintenance and operation of vehicles: any safety hazards identified in the vehicles must be addressed promptly; vehicles with such issues should not be used on roads, as this could lead to bigger problems ； It is also necessary to regularly check the safety equipment and emergency protective items installed in the vehicle, to ensure they can function properly in case of an emergency. Secondly, it is reflected in the understanding of the hazardous materials being transported: the transporter should not simply act as a mere mover of such materials; rather, they need to be familiar with the properties of the hazardous materials being transported, as only in this way can appropriate safeguards be put in place during transportation. If safety hazards due to bumps during transportation are a concern, the transporter must plan the route in advance, choosing routes with good road conditions as much as possible. Ensure regular inspections during transportation. During the transport process, stop the vehicle at regular intervals to check the condition of the vehicle and the hazardous materials. Such as checking the tire pressure of the vehicle, and whether there are any items that could pose a danger attached to the vehicle while it is in use ； For hazardous goods, it is necessary to check whether the packaging is securely fastened and there is no leakage during transportation. In short, only when the carrier makes inspection a *habit can dangers be nipped in the bud. It is necessary to assess the situation carefully. If rain, snow, or heavy fog occurs during transportation, one should immediately find a safe place to stop and wait, while taking measures to protect the cargo ； In the event of a danger, remain calm and composed; use the professional knowledge acquired through regular training and previous drills to take appropriate action. Avoid panicking and acting recklessly ； In the event of a serious emergency that cannot be handled by oneself, it is necessary to call the police immediately and take measures to secure the area and evacuate people. Try to stay away from crowded areas to prevent potential problems. When driving, choose routes that avoid crowded places such as schools and hospitals; in case of temporary stops due to special circumstances, take measures to protect the vehicle from all sides.
