Scope
GenVault Transport Services assisted a prominent public university in relocating its chemical lab. With over 2,500 chemicals, the lab relocation project required meticulous planning and execution. The university sought GenVault’s specialized knowledge and experience to relocate the lab chemicals and ensure compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for hazardous material transportation. GenVault’s proven track record in handling hazardous materials and its commitment to safety made it the ideal partner for this relocation project.
Chemical Lab Move Solution
GenVault Transport Services personnel, including a chemist, dedicated three days to sorting and packing chemicals on-site, adhering to DOT requirements. University EH&S staff collaborated to oversee the process and meticulously prepared and reviewed all shipping documentation. Emphasis was given to ensuring proper labeling, secure packaging, and implementing safety measures to uphold compliance and mitigate potential risks.
The lab chemicals were transported using a temperature-controlled trailer equipped to relocate hazardous materials safely.
- Safety Signage and Labeling: Clear signage and labeling indicating the presence of hazardous materials and providing emergency contact information.
- Emergency Response Equipment: Emergency response equipment, such as spill kits, fire extinguishers, and personal protective equipment (PPE), was readily available in the event of an emergency.
- Tracking and Monitoring Systems: GPS tracking and monitoring systems to track the location of the trailer and its contents in real-time.
- Security Features: Security features such as locks, seals, and tamper-evident mechanisms prevent unauthorized access to the trailer and ensure the integrity of the cargo.
Stringent safety protocols are a must and followed at every step. Drivers remained highly vigilant to prevent any unforeseen incidents during transit.
