②Especially hazardous chemical tank vehicles, because the tank is all exposed, hot weather should promote rest during the day and night driving to prevent liquid expansion.

③In case of rain, fog, snow and other bad weather, try not to arrange a car.

2. The choice of parking place

Stay out of dangerous areas. Parking away from residential areas, Bridges, tunnels, high-voltage lines and other high-risk areas.

①Stop regularly for inspections. Stop and check every 2-4 hours, focusing on container tightness, vehicle condition, etc.

②Check for leaks. Check for leaks, odors, or anomalies, and deal with any problems immediately.

③Monitor vehicle status. Real-time monitoring of vehicle operating status (such as temperature, pressure, etc.) through on-board monitoring equipment.

④Check the fixtures. Ensure that containers of hazardous chemicals are securely secured to avoid displacement or collision due to turbulence.

⑤Record the check results. Record vehicle and cargo status after each inspection for easy follow-up.

• Sencondly, common chemical leakage treatment examples

1. Acid leakage. Neutralize with an alkaline substance (e.g., lime, baking soda) and rinse with plenty of water.

2. Alkaline material leakage. Neutralize with an acidic substance (such as dilute hydrochloric acid) and rinse with plenty of water.

Be aware of your surroundings.

When escaping, evacuate the scene first to avoid secondary accidents with other normal vehicles. Do not go against the road, cross or walk on the road. When withdrawing from the bridge and tunnel section, pay attention to the traffic flow, and withdraw from the highway as soon as possible to the zone with slope or shoulder.
