I. INTRODUCTION

.

The subject may hold our attention for several reasons; indeed :

-In economic terms, the Transport of Dangerous Goods sector is of interest to several stakeholders: packers; shippers; chargers; carriers; unloaders;

Thus, these goods allow us to feed to do x-rays and chemotherapy including tests in oil environment, ect ..

. - in practical terms, the need for this type of transport is well established; however, risks must also be controlled because of their dangerousness.

Since safety is everybody's business, the public authorities propose for their part:

  • to review the legal framework of this sector of activity in order to align it with the international context;
  • to raise the awareness of the actors involved in this sector;
  • to reinforce the reaction capacities of the competent services in the face of the related accidents, all the more so since, in view of the statistics of transport accidents available throughout the world, we have most of the accidentology in the transport of Dangerous substances with consequences for the population and the environment.
