TRANSPORT OF EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES

Slovenija je tranzitna država, skozi katero potekajo tudi tokovi nevarnega tovornega prometa. Za večino nevarnih tovorov se v splošnem, razen ob kontrolnem pregledu voznika, vozila, tovora in dokumentacije, ne ve niti od kod prihajajo, kam so namenjeni, niti koliko ga je. Netočnost podatkov o številu prevozov in količinah nevarnega blaga v prevozih pa onemogočajo zagotavljanje dejanske varnosti. Prevoz eksplozivnih snovi v cestnem prometu je zaradi velikega števila predpisov, ki urejajo to področje, zelo kompleksen proces. Problem, ki se obravnava v diplomski nalogi je, kako vse s predpisi določene zahteve upoštevati in izvesti v praksi, pri tem pa zagotoviti visoko stopnjo varnosti prevoza eksplozivnih snovi. Na primeru prevoza eksplozivov je prikazano, kako v praksi poteka celoten proces prevoza, kakšne so dolžnosti vseh sodelujočih in kakšne so zahteve veljavnih predpisov. V nalogi so opisana tudi vozila, njihova oprema in označevanje za prevoz nevarnih snovi, ter kako pravilno ravnati z eksplozivi, da niso v nevarnosti ljudje ter okolica. Kot primerjava je predstavljen tudi potek prevoza eksploziva v Slovenski vojski in v čem se tak prevoz razlikuje od ostalih prevozov eksplozivnih snovi. Opisani so pa tudi ukrepi ob prometnih nesrečah z udeležbo vozil, ki prevažajo eksplozivne snovi, kako policija opravlja nadzor nad prevozom nevarnega blaga, predstavljen je primer prometne nesreče z eksplozijo cisterne v Keniji, kot rezultat mojih spoznanj pa je predlagana posodobitev Navodil za prevoz eksplozivnih snovi.Slovenia is a transit country though which currents of dangerous cargo traffic is lead. Generally it is not know where this dangerous cargo comes from, where it is headed or how much is there except when driver, vehicle, cargo or documentation are under inspection. Inaccuracy of information about the amount of dangerous traffic unables the provision of actual security. The transport of explosive substances is a very complex process due to a number of regulations which regulate this area. The problem this diploma paper addresses is how to take into consideration all the regulations and put them into practice and at the same time provide a secure transport of explosive substances. The example shows how an actual process of transport takes place, obligations of all parties and the demands of current regulations. This diploma paper also describes vehicles, their equipment, labelling the transport of dangerous materials and the right handling with explosives to keep other people and surroundings safe. In comparison the transport of explosives in Slovenian army is presented and it is described how this kind of transport is different from other dangerous transports. The measurement when vehicles transporting explosive substances are involved in an accident are described and how the police controls the transport of dangerous cargo. The example of an accident involving road tanker explosion in Kenya is presented and as a result of my findings the modernisation of Directives for the transport of explosive substances is suggested
