Mejora de la seguridad en el despacho de carga peligrosa en el área de aforo

Abstract

The dispatch of hazardous goods in the customs inspection area shows safety deficiencies, starting with the limited space available for proper inspection. This reflects a lack of training among operational staff, improper use of protective equipment, and poor signage conditions, all of which significantly increase risks to personnel, the environment, and port operations. This research proposes standardized improvements in procedures, such as space reorganization, improved signage, proper use of protective equipment, availability of emergency tools, and clearly identified spill prevention kits according to the type of hazardous cargo. These measures aim to ensure safer operations for personnel, port facilities, and the environment, in compliance with national and international regulations, while strengthening confidence in logistics management and establishing a continuous improvement system for the safety of hazardous goods handling and dispatch.
