| Abstract | ||
| The problems of environmental protection have attracted the attention of of natural and biological sciences researchers for a long time, but the jurisprudence has been relatively late in the modern era. Take note of the legal problems posed by threats to the environment. On the environmental level, the problem of environmental pollution has become one of the most important problems affecting humans in modern times because of its harmful effects on both living and non-living organisms. At the international level, the State asks about the damage caused by environmental pollution to the international community, which is based on a set of legal rules that find their main source in international conventions, general principles of law and international judicial decisions in the field of environmental protection, and in the field of determining international liability for environmental pollution damage. From the legal point of view, the classification in Egypt according to Law 4/1994 and its amendments and its executive regulations is limited in light of the emergence of the international codes and the global guidelines in the field of hazardous materials which are comprehensive for all types of hazardous materials and capable of absorbing new ones. Therefore, the current study aims at clarifying all responsibility related to the transport, storage and handling of hazardous materials. The problem of the study is to know the adequacy and adequacy of Egyptian environmental law to classify hazardous substances and wastes and to appoint the concerned body and its responsibility for these materials and compensation for damages resulting from such wastes. Based on the problem of the study, the researchers in this study relied on the combination of the inductive method and the method of analyzing the results. The researchers conducted personal interviews with the officials in the [Holding Company for Maritime Transport and Container Handling in Damietta Port - Civil Protection Department in Damietta Port - Department of Safety and Occupational Health - the competent Environmental Affairs Agency (observer) Transport, storage and storage of hazardous materials. The results of the study that it is necessary to deepen the cooperation between the management of hazardous materials at the port and all security authorities inside and outside the port. As for the rules of liability resulting from the sources of environmental pollution, it is deficient and ambiguous, and in the end requires a radical development in line with contemporary global developments and in accordance with the era of the environment. It can not be denied that the civil liability regime in its free status continues to play an effective role in protecting the environment in its various dimensions. The need to include laws and ministerial decrees on the protection of the environment to the provisions of international laws and norms concerning the protection of the environment from the hazards of hazardous materials, taking into account the continuous raising of public awareness of the dangers and controls of the use of hazardous substances on the local clock. This is to expand the citizen's information base on the rules of safety and civil protection with the signs of dangerous goods. The present study recommends that citizens should be notified of the signs of dangerous goods and how they should be selected according to the classification prepared for this purpose. And the work of a comprehensive system of linking between similar departments in ports similar to cooperation and exchange of experiences at the level of the Egyptian country. Public awareness programs must be activated and school curricula, for example, should be implemented to preserve the environment and make it always green and to activate the role of environmental laws. | ||
