Table 27. Recommended Transportation Practices for Preservative-containing Solutions or Wastes (All Preservatives)

Feature	Recommendations
Container transportation & specifications	Ensure that the containers for transporting preservatives should be free from mechanical defects; protected against physical abuse; and filled and closed in the manner prescribed for wood preservatives by the TDGR, published by Transport Canada. Consult with your provincial and local authorities to know the applicable regulatory requirements for transportation as they may be specific.
Container labelling	Comply with TDGR label requirements. Affix the proper labels to each container. Label each container on at least two sides. See TDGR for complete list
Loading procedures	Ensure that personnel have the means and ability to transfer bulk materials safely. Ensure that all procedures involving transfer flammable and combustible liquids are in accordance with Division B, Part 4 of the National Fire Code of Canada 2010. Set vehicle handbrakes securely and place wheel blocks prior to unloading. Ensure the presence of a person who knows the hazards of the preservative and who is trained and prepared to respond to spills and other emergencies. If leakage or spillage occurs, decontaminate the vehicle prior to returning it to service. Dispose of absorbents and spill cleanup materials as per Table 23 and the appropriate tables in Part II for preservative-specific systems.
Shipping documents	The TDGR and EIHWHRMR* require shipping document (products or wastes). Consult with your provincial and local authorities to know the applicable regulatory requirements.
Securing vehicle loads (e.g. drummed wastes)	Replace drum spouts with leak-proof bungs prior to transit. Strap drums or blocks vertically to pallets. Strap drums or blocks horizontally to each other. Brace or tie down loads to prevent shifting (do not rely on the vehicle floor or sides to prevent shifting). Ensure a stable load consistent with the vehicle floor strength. Secure other load items to prevent drum or wrap punctures and to prevent abuse to blocks.
Vehicle placarding	Affix vehicle placards for the class and quantity of material shipped as designated by the TDGR. This is usually the responsibility of the waste transporter. Note: Vehicles carrying preservative-treated commodities need not be placarded.
Responsibilities of truck driver, ship captain or railroad crew	Know the nature of the load. Carry suitable emergency equipment and be trained in its proper use. Know and follow correct procedures for the reporting of accidents or spills: Immediately telephone the 24-hour contact identified by provincial and federal competent authorities. Please refer to Appendix III: Federal/Province/territory 24-hours authorities’ numbers. Know and comply with any other requirements of the shipper/manufacturer. Immediately replace lost or damaged placards or labels (carry spares). Notify the receiver of goods that preservative materials are in transit. (Note: Some provinces allow only licensed carriers to transport hazardous wastes.)
