Section 29-349-192 - Vehicle to be attended
Current through September 9, 2024
Every motor vehicle transporting any quantity of Class A or Class B explosives shall, at all times, be attended by the driver or other qualified attendant of the motor carrier. This attendant shall have been made aware of the class of the explosive material in the vehicle and of its inherent dangers, and shall have been instructed in the measures and procedures to be followed in order to protect the public from those dangers. He shall have been made familiar with the vehicle he is assigned to attend, and shall be trained, supplied with the necessary means, and authorized to move the vehicle when required.
(a) For the purpose of this section, a vehicle shall be deemed "Attended" only when the driver or other qualified attendant is physically on or in the vehicle, or has the vehicle within his field of vision and can reach it quickly and without any kind of interference; "attended" also means that the driver or attendant is awake, alert and not engaged in other duties or activities which may divert his attention from the vehicle, except for necessary communication with public officers, or representatives of the carrier, shipper or consignee.
(b) However, an explosive laden vehicle may be left unattended if parked within a securely fenced or walled area with all gates or entrances locked, in a nonhazardous location, where the parking of such vehicle is otherwise permissible.
