__ is a comprehensive regulation developed by __ the to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials by sea. It establishes guidelines for the classification, packaging, labeling, handling, and stowage of dangerous goods to prevent accidents, protect human life, and safeguard the marine environment

International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, International Maritime Organization (IMO)

The Code categorizes hazardous materials into _ based on their properties, such as flammability, toxicity, and reactivity.

Uses of the IMDG Code

1. Ensures Maritime Safety: 2. Protects Marine Environment: 3. Facilitates International Trade: 4. Regulates Cargo Handling and Transport: 5. Assists in Emergency Preparedness:

This hazard class involves all materials that can either conflagrate or detonate when a chemical reaction takes place. Explosives can be subdivided into six categories depending on their behavior. Common types of explosives include fireworks, primers and ammunition/ cartridges.

1. EXPLOSIVES

Compressed gases, liquified gases and refrigerated gases can be toxic and flammable. Flammable gases can also include a mixture of one or more gases. Some examples include helium and helium compounds, refrigerant gases, fire extinguishers and aerosols

2. FLAMMABLE GASES

Within this category, you’ll find liquids, mixtures of liquids or liquids containing solids that are all flammable. This composition makes them volatile and difficult to transport because of their potential to ignite. Flammable liquids include common household products like paints, lacquers and kerosene, as well as diesel fuel, turpentine and aviation fuel.

3. FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

Flammable solids also have the potential to heat up, combust and cause fires during transportation. Some flammable solids could even become combustible when it comes into contact with water. Examples of these types of solids include oily fabrics or cotton waste, metal powders and sodium batteries

4. FLAMMABLE SOLIDS

This classification can be broken down into either oxidizing agents or organic peroxides. Both of these types of dangerous goods can react with flammable and combustible materials, causing fires that are hard to extinguish. Some examples of oxidizing dangerous goods are hydrogen peroxide, ammonium nitrate fertilizers and aluminum nitrate

5. OXIDIZING

These are substances that can cause serious injury or death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Along with disease-causing agents like parasites, bacteria and viruses, toxic substances include medical and biomedical waste, medical cultures and samples and clinical waste.

6. TOXIC AND INFECTIOUS

Materials that emit radiation can cause harm to the human body. These materials contain an unstable nucleus, or radionuclides, which releases radioactive energy. Along with household products like smoke detectors, radioactive goods include density gauges, depleted uranium and surface-contaminated objects.

7. RADIOACTIVE

A corrosive material is highly reactive and capable of either degrading or disintegrating other materials when they come in contact with them. Batteries, battery fluid and fire extinguisher charges are considered _ as well as acids and acid solutions.

8. CORROSIVES

Within the miscellaneous dangerous goods category, you’ll find a range of substances that don’t fall into the other classifications. This can include anything from environmentally hazardous substances to genetically modified organisms
