Acids, anhydrides and alkalis are among the most commonly carried
corrosive substances. They can rapidly destroy human tissue and cause
irreparable damage. They can also corrode normal ship construction
materials, and create a safety hazard for a ship. Acids in particular react
with most metals, evolving hydrogen gas which is highly flammable. The
IMO Codes address this, and care should be taken to ensure that
unsuitable materials are not included in the cargo system. Personnel
likely to be exposed to these products should wear suitable personal
protective equipment
