At Fernandez Aedo, safety is more than a priority – it’s a goal. That’s why we have put in place world-class preventive and safety measures to ensure the safe handling of hazardous chemicals. From loading to unloading, we are armed with the latest personal protective equipment, follow rigorous protocols to prevent any spills or leaks, maintain impeccable ventilation and have emergency teams ready to intervene instantly in the event of any incident.<\/p>\n
In addition, we recognise that safety is an ongoing commitment, so we continue to train our people in safety practices and foster a culture of shared responsibility.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All personnel involved in loading and unloading receive comprehensive training on the hazards associated with chemicals and the necessary safety measures. This training includes the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency response.<\/p>\n
Prior to each operation, a full inspection of the tanker and loading and unloading equipment is carried out. This includes checking tank integrity, connections, and safety systems to prevent leaks and spills.<\/p>\n
Chemical products are correctly identified and labelled according to international regulations (ADR). Labels must clearly indicate the nature of the hazard, safe handling measures and emergency procedures.<\/p>\n
Chemicals are stored and transported under conditions that minimise risks, including separation of incompatible substances to avoid dangerous reactions. Tanks should be equipped with temperature and pressure control systems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is ensured that the loading and unloading area is properly signposted and isolated from unauthorised access. Containment equipment and absorbent materials are available to control possible spills.<\/p>\n
A visual inspection of the goods is carried out to verify their condition and compatibility. Any damage or anomaly is recorded and reported immediately.<\/p>\n
Personnel must use appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety glasses, chemical resistant suits and respirators, depending on the type of substance handled.<\/p>\n
A trained supervisor must be present throughout the loading and unloading operation to ensure compliance with safety procedures and to respond quickly to any incidents.<\/p>\n
A detailed record is kept of each operation, including loading conditions, equipment used, and any incidents that occur. These records are essential for auditing security practices and continually improving our procedures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A specific emergency plan is in place for each type of chemical transported, including detailed procedures for containment and clean-up of spills, evacuation of affected areas and notification of relevant authorities.<\/p>\n
We conduct regular drills to ensure that all staff are familiar with emergency procedures and can act quickly and effectively in the event of a real incident.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These measures are essential to ensure the safety of our employees, the protection of the environment and the integrity of transported products. Our company is committed to following best practices and keeping up to date with the latest regulations and technologies in the transport of dangerous goods.<\/p>\n

Este proceso a su vez es esencial para la econom\u00eda del pa\u00eds, ya que asegura el abastecimiento de las empresas y su capacidad para generar empleo e ingresos.\u00a0 <\/span>A pesar de su importancia, esta profesi\u00f3n parece estar en peligro de extinci\u00f3n y esta situaci\u00f3n no parece generar suficiente alarma entre las autoridades pertinentes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00bfSab\u00edas que s\u00f3lo el 6% de los conductores que trabajan en el sector europeo del transporte de mercanc\u00edas por carretera son j\u00f3venes?<\/b>\r\n\r\nEsta cifra resulta muy alarmante <\/span>y es importante que se tomen medidas inmediatas para evitar que la situaci\u00f3n empeore a\u00fan m\u00e1s.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEn Espa\u00f1a se presenta una situaci\u00f3n similar, el 70% de los transportistas tienen m\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os. La brecha existente entre los conductores que se jubilan y los transportistas nuevos que se incorporan en esta profesi\u00f3n sigue aumentando y se espera que esta situaci\u00f3n se triplique en toda Europa. Actualmente, se estima que se necesita contratar a medio mill\u00f3n de conductores, y se prev\u00e9 que la tasa de puestos vacantes para transportistas aumente hasta superar el 60% para el a\u00f1o 2026.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEl problema de la falta de conductores de camiones, que ahora se ha convertido en una emergencia, comienza a ser una preocupaci\u00f3n para los 27 pa\u00edses miembros de la Uni\u00f3n Europea, gracias a las organizaciones del sector que han llamado la atenci\u00f3n sobre ello. En respuesta, la Comisi\u00f3n Europea ha propuesto adelantar la edad m\u00ednima para obtener la licencia de conducir C para veh\u00edculos pesados a los 17 a\u00f1os, permitiendo que los j\u00f3venes conduzcan bajo supervisi\u00f3n hasta los 18 a\u00f1os. Aunque esta medida podr\u00eda ayudar en la actual crisis de falta de conductores, no ser\u00e1 suficiente para solucionar el problema por s\u00ed solo. Adem\u00e1s, en muchos pa\u00edses de la UE se requiere tener m\u00e1s de 21 a\u00f1os para conducir un cami\u00f3n, y en algunos casos incluso m\u00e1s de 24 a\u00f1os.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la titulaci\u00f3n requerida para convertirse en conductor o conductora de un tr\u00e1iler?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n
