Information to the public about health protection measures

2.—(1) Every consignor, carrier and consignee carrying out the transport of a consignment shall—

(a)ensure that any members of the public who are in an area in which, in the opinion of the Northern Ireland competent authority, they are likely to be affected by a radiological emergency arising from the undertaking of that carrier, consignor or consignee are supplied, in the appropriate manner approved by the Northern Ireland competent authority and without their having to request it, with at least the information set out in sub-paragraph (2); and

(b)make that information publicly available, which includes endeavouring to enter into an agreement or arrangement with the district council in the area referred to in head (a) for the dissemination by that authority of the information required to be supplied to members of the public in accordance with that sub-paragraph.

(2) The following is the information that is to be supplied and made available—

(a)the basic facts about the radioactivity and its effects on persons and on the environment;

(b)the various types of radiological emergency possible and their consequences for the general public and the environment;

(c)the emergency measures envisaged to alert, protect and assist the general public in the event of the occurrence of a radiological emergency;

(d)appropriate information on action to be taken by the general public in the event of the occurrence of a radiological emergency; and

(e)the appropriate district council responsible for implementing the emergency measures and action referred to in (c) and (d) above.

(3) In preparing the information to be supplied and made available, the carrier, consignor or consignee shall—

(a)consult the Northern Ireland competent authority, but remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness and form of the information supplied; and

(b)endeavour to enter into an agreement or arrangement with the local authority in whose area the carrier, consignor or consignee is situated with respect to the dissemination by that authority of the information to members of the public.

(4) The information supplied and made available under this paragraph shall be updated—

(a)at regular intervals;

(b)whenever significant changes to any of the matters mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) take place; and

(c)in any event, at least every 3 years.

(5) When information is updated in accordance with sub-paragraph (4) it shall be supplied and made publicly available in accordance with sub-paragraph (2).

Duties with respect to the monitoring of particular persons

3.—(1) Any—

(a)employee or agent of a consignor, carrier or consignee, or

(b)person of whose services a consignor, carrier or consignee makes use in the carriage of dangerous goods,

who assists in an intervention and is liable to be subjected to emergency exposure shall be treated as being a person classified pursuant to regulation 20 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000(2) (“the 2000 Regulations”) and, accordingly, the consignor, carrier or consignee (as the case may be) has the same duties with regard to the monitoring of such persons as are imposed upon an ‘employer’ by regulations 21 to 26 of the 2000 Regulations.

(2) To the extent it is necessary in order to save human lives, an emergency exposure is permitted as a result of which the dose limit specified in paragraph 1, 2, 6, 7 or 8 of Schedule 4 (Dose Limits) to the 2000 Regulations will be exceeded, provided that the person who is proposed to be subjected to a dose in excess of the limit provided for in the relevant paragraph is a volunteer and has been informed of the risks involved in the intervention.

(3) In this paragraph, “emergency exposure” means an exposure of a person engaged in an activity of, or associated with, the response to a radiation emergency or potential emergency in order to bring help to endangered persons, prevent exposure of a large number of persons or save a valuable installation or goods where one of the individual dose limits referred to in paragraphs 1 or 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 4 to the 2000 Regulations could be exceeded.

Duties of consignor and carrier with regard to the preparation of emergency arrangements

4.—(1) Before the carriage of a package begins, the consignor of that package shall ensure that there is a plan in writing setting out such emergency arrangements as are appropriate for the carriage of that package.

(2) The plan shall be prepared having regard to—

(a)the principle that intervention is to be undertaken only if the damage due to the radiation resulting from the radiation emergency is sufficient to justify the potential harm and the potential cost (including the social cost) of that intervention;

(b)the principle that the form, scale and duration of the intervention should ensure that the benefit to health will be greater than any harm that might be associated with the intervention itself;

(c)the dose limits provided for in Schedule 4 to the Ionising Radiations Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000; and

(d)the levels of radiation dose applicable in an emergency that are specified by the Health Protection Agency pursuant to its functions under section 3 of the Health Protection Agency Act 2004(3).

(3) To the extent that the plan is used in relation to carriage on more than one occasion, the consignor shall review and, whenever necessary, revise his emergency arrangements and shall ensure that at suitable intervals they are tested.

Duties of drivers, carriers and consignors in the event of the occurrence of a radiological emergency

of that event;

(b)assist in the intervention that is made in connection with any radiological emergency; and

(c)as soon as is reasonably practicable, arrange for the examination of the load so as to determine whether contamination has arisen and, if it has, to arrange for the safe disposal of any part of the load that has been contaminated and for the decontamination of the transport unit or train.

(3) If a consignor of class 7 goods becomes aware of the occurrence of a notifiable event in relation to those goods the consignor shall—

(a)immediately notify—

(i)the Chief Constable; and

(ii)the Northern Ireland competent authority,

of that event (unless either the driver or the carrier has already done so);

(b)assist in the intervention that is made in connection with any radiological emergency; and

(c)provide the Northern Ireland competent authority with details of the incident that gave rise to that emergency.

(4) If a consignor of class 7 goods becomes aware that emergency arrangements have been initiated in relation to his consignment the consignor shall notify the Northern Ireland competent authority of the initiation of those arrangements even if, in the event, no intervention was made pursuant to those arrangements.

Regulation 23(8)

SCHEDULE 3REASONS FOR EXAMINATION NOT TAKING PLACE OR NOT BEING COMPLETED

1.  The applicant for the ADR certificate does not, after being requested to do so, produce the notice of appointment (if any) relating to the inspection and—

(a)in the case of a motor vehicle either the registration document relating to the vehicle or other evidence of the date of its first registration or, in the case of a motor vehicle not registered before the date of the inspection, evidence of the date of its manufacture; and

(b)in the case of a trailer, evidence of the date of its manufacture.

2.  The particulars relating to the vehicle and shown in any application relevant to the inspection are found to be substantially incorrect.

3.  The vehicle is one as respects which it has been stated in the application that it is to be used on roads to draw a trailer and in the last notice of appointment preceding the inspection it was required that the vehicle should be accompanied by a trailer which is to be so drawn, and the vehicle is not accompanied by such a trailer.

4.  The vehicle is a trailer, and is not accompanied by a motor vehicle suitable for drawing that trailer and capable of operating any braking system with which the trailer is equipped.

5.  There is not permanently affixed to the chassis or main structure of the vehicle in a conspicuous or easily accessible position so as to be readily legible either—

(a)the chassis or serial number shown in the registration document relating to the vehicle; or

(b)if no such number is shown or exists, the identification mark allotted to the vehicle by the Northern Ireland competent authority.

6.  The vehicle or any motor vehicle by which it is accompanied, or any part of any equipment of the vehicle or any such accompanying vehicle is so dirty or dangerous as to make it unreasonable for the inspection to be carried out or the applicant for the ADR certificate does not produce any certificate required in the last notice of appointment preceding the inspection, that a vehicle used for carrying toxic, corrosive or inflammable loads had been properly cleaned or otherwise made safe.

7.  An inspector is not able to complete the inspection without the vehicle or, in the case of a trailer, the motor vehicle by which it is accompanied being driven and such vehicle or trailer or, as the case may be, the accompanying vehicle is not provided with fuel and oil to enable it to be driven to such extent as may be necessary for the purpose of the examination.

8.  In the case of a trailer, an inspector is not able to complete the inspection unless the motor vehicle by which it is accompanied is driven on a road, and that motor vehicle cannot be driven without committing an offence under section 29 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994(4) because no licence under that Act is in force for such vehicle.

9.  The vehicle or any trailer by which it is accompanied is not loaded or unloaded in the manner (of any) specified for the purpose of the inspection either in the last notice of appointment preceding the inspection or by the Northern Ireland competent authority.

10.  An inspector is not able to complete the inspection due to the failure of a part of the vehicle or, in the case of a trailer, any vehicle by which it is drawn or intended to be drawn, which renders the vehicle, or any such accompanying vehicle incapable of being moved in safety under the power of the vehicle, or as the case may be, the accompanying vehicle.
