Transport of dangerous goods

 Since the 27th of April 2015, CERN has started to apply ADR regulations for all internal transport of dangerous goods.

For more information: http://www.unece.org/trans/danger/danger.html

Each item and the type of packaging used must be identified (UN number + packaging used). It is the responsibility of the shipper, that is to say the user, to provide this information.

 

1. CONTEXT

By Internal transport the following is implied:

From

To
Building Meyrin Building Meyrin
Building Prévessin Building Prévessin
Building Meyrin Building Prévessin
Building Meyrin / Prévessin Points 1 - 8
Points 1 - 8 Building Meyrin / Prévessin
CERN Stores Your building
Building Meyrin / Prévessin Destination outside CERN, transit via reception Meyrin or Prévessin

 

2. RESPONSIBILITIES

Internal transport is under the responsibility of:

Person giving the order

 CERN

Packer

 CERN

Shipper

 CERN

Loader

 Contractor

Transporter

 Contractor

Un-loader

 Contractor

Consignee

3. PRINCIPAL OBLIGATIONS FOR THE PERSON REQUESTING TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS

 

 

To transport dangerous goods internally at CERN, an Internal transport request / Handling request must be completed in EDH, the option "danger chimique" must be chosen in the field marked "Dangers". The UN number must be included in the EDH document.

 

The security sheet for the product must be attached to the EDH document. For orders from the CERN stores, the sceurity sheet is available in the catalogue, It can be found with the SCEM number (details available below).

 

EMBALLER

 

Chemical products have to be packed correctly. For more infirmation, please contact Mr. Franck Daclin or Mrs Claudia Bruggmann Furlan.

 

4. WHO ARE THE CONTACTS, WHERE CAN I FIND THE SECURITY SHEET AND WHAT DOCUMENTS DO I NEED FOR MY TRANSPORT

 

4.1 Contacts

  • For transport departing from CERN stores, transport of chemical waste and transportation outside of CERN, you can contact Ms. Claudia Furlan Bruggmann;
  • For transport inside CERN (departure and destination CERN), you can contact Mr. Franck Daclin.

It is also possible to contact our security advisor, Mr. Nathanael Padioleau (npadioleau@me.com).

 

4.2 Security sheet

 

4.2.1 For the chemical products bought via the CERN stores

For all chemical bought via the CERN stores, the security sheets are available in the catalogue:

 

4.2.2 For the chemical products bought from a supplier

For all chemical products bought from a supplier, it is the supplier's responsability to provide the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet).

"A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that provides health and safety information about products, substances or chemicals that are classified as hazardous substances or dangerous goods. MSDS's provide information on the manufacturer or importing supplier."

Below you will find an example of a safety sheet. Section 14 gives all the relevant information for transport, the UN / ONU number can be found here:
