I thought that ADR would also be about how to wash away spillages of chemicals and stuff!
In general, drivers lack the necessary PPE to get too involved in an incident involving dangerous goods.
If a spillage occurs at a loading or unloading point, the procedure is to inform the site-staff, because they’ll have a spillage plan in pace, usually in conjunction with the fire-brigade and the environmental authorities.
If the incident is out on the road, then it’s best to avoid the spilled ‘stuff’ and phone for the fire brigade whilst keeping other people away. A driver may have a drain seal he could use, but surprisingly… a spill kit is not mandatory.

If only I had some pennies, I would do my ADR whilst I have hardly any work on.
When I do get some pennies, I bet you can point me in the right direction for a decent course?
North Manchester/Bolton/Bury/Rochdale area.
At a pinch Ellesmere Port 'cos I used to live in Runcorn and I’ve got relatives to stay with.

Why do you get in a car, but on an airplane?
Is it airplane or aeroplane
Thinking about it… you board a bus, train, ship and aircraft, but you get in a car, canoe and you get in a small jet. The common link seems to be if you can walk on - then you are getting on but if you have to climb in then you are getting in.
walk ON
climb IN
I think
As I now understand soap, I will try some this week (maybe).
I don’t understand why, if an O/D wants to work 70 hours a week, our government will only let them work 48 hours a week, because that’s what the Belgians told them thats all they can do. If the O/D sticks to the tacho hours, whats the problem?
How does that work■■?
What the [zb] has it got to do with Brussels/EU what our drivers work?
I also don’t understand why this spineless government we have doesn’t tell them Europeans to [zb] right off with their stupid rules.

From my constant sponging up of information I think the explanation is this,
Each leg was covered with a baggy sort of tube, this was called called a trouser, so one for each leg and you get a pair. eventually these were sewn together to become one item, forever known as a pair of trousers.
