| Abstract |
On 1 August 2003, new regulations on the transport and the handling of dangerous substances came into effect in Colombia, concerning more specifically the emergency card and the emergency plan. This article specifies the responsibilities of the shipper or their forwarding agent, the consignee and the vehicle driver. It describes the emergency card and emergency plan, and explains what information they need to contain. The various levels (end point, regional, national, international) to which the emergency plans have to be applicable as a function of the importance of the accident are also specified. |
