The load compartments shall have no sharp internal edges (internal steps, etc.) capable of tearing containerbags during unloading. They shall be inspected before any loading operation. The containerbags shall be placed in the load compartments for carriage prior to any filling. The outer component of the containerbags shall be positioned so that the slider of the zipper is placed on the front side of the load compartment when closed. After filling, the containerbags shall be closed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Once loaded, the containerbags shall not be lifted or transferred from one load compartment to another. Multiple filled containerbags shall not be loaded into the same load compartment. After any filling operation and after closing, the outer surfaces of the containerbags shall be decontaminated. Containerbags carried in removable load compartments shall be unloaded with the latter placed on the ground. The unloading of containerbags filled with roadworks waste or with soil contaminated with free asbestos by tipping the load compartment is authorized, provided that an unloading protocol agreed jointly between the carrier and the consignee is respected to prevent the containerbags from tearing during unloading. The protocol shall ensure that the containerbags do not fall or tear during the unloading operation. 3 Warning mark including the words “CAUTION – MAY CONTAIN FLAMMABLE VAPOUR” with lettering not less than 25 mm high, affixed at each access point in a location where it will be easily seen by persons prior to opening or entering the vehicle or container.
