    the hazardous goods transportation from one location to another location.
     To educate the reasons for the road accident and the roles and responsibilities of a safe
    Driver and the training needs of the driver.
     To inculcate the culture of safe driving and fuel conservation along with knowing of basic
    traffic symbols followed throughout the highways.

    UNIT I TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS GOODS 9


    Transport emergency card (TREM) – driver training-parking of tankers on the highways-speed of the vehicle –
    warning symbols – design of the tanker lorries -static electricity-responsibilities of driver – inspection and
