Abstract

ARGUMENTARY Companies' logistics strategies include supply and distribution choices and material storage policy choices, made in an often complex regulatory context, with multiple levels of government and, most of the time, a large number of stakeholders. To improve their profitability, companies are constantly seeking to maximize the efficiency of their supply chains. Those working with hazardous materials have an additional challenge: they must take into account the potential risks of these substances to workers, the public and the environment at each link in their chain. They must therefore integrate risk management into their logistics and operational decision-making processes. As the Lac-Mégantic tragedy in Quebec, which occurred on July 6, 2013, painfully reminds us in terms of risk management related to hazardous materials, even the most improbable catastrophic scenarios can occur. TARGET The purpose of this book is to provide stakeholders in the field (transporters, producers, planners, legislators) as well as individuals who wish to learn more about hazardous materials issues with a set of essential information. The various chapters include, on the one hand, first-hand data and, on the other hand, a reflection on the various aspects of logistics strategies and the risks associated with the storage, handling and transport of hazardous materials.

Pour améliorer leur rentabilité, les entreprises cherchent sans cesse à maximiser l'efficacité de leurs chaînes logistiques. Celles qui oeuvrent avec des matières dangereuses ont un défi supplémentaire : elles doivent prendre en compte les risques potentiels de ces substances pour les travailleurs, la population et l'environnement, et ce, à chacun des maillons de leur chaîne. Elles doivent donc intégrer la gestion des risques à leur processus de décisions logistiques et d'opération. Comme nous le rappelle douloureusement la tragédie de Lac- Mégantic au Québec, survenue le 6 juillet 2013, en matière de gestion des risques liés aux matières dangereuses, même les scénarios catastrophiques les plus improbables peuvent se produire. CIBLE Ce livre a pour but d'offrir aux intervenants du milieu (transporteurs, producteurs, planificateurs, législateurs) ainsi qu'aux personnes qui souhaitent en savoir davantage sur les thématiques liées aux matières dangereuses un ensemble d'informations indispensables. Les différents chapitres regroupent, d'une part, des données de première main et, d'autre part, une réflexion sur les divers aspects des stratégies logistiques et les risques associés au stockage, à la manutention et au transport des matières dangereuses.
