If the tankers are involved in an accident, the notices give the Police and Fire Brigade an incidation of what they are dealing with as to evacuation of nearby homes and businesses, and the sort of blazes that could happen.

Gives the IMO Code and advice on what action to take. In the cab will be a TREM Card (Transport Emergency Card) with further advice.
If the label has an "E" on it, run away, because it means Evacuate.

The information you need for this answer is in the highway code, I could tell you the answer but it would be better to read the highway code yourself. Even if you don't drive rules 1 to 33 apply to you as a pedestrian. Happy reading!

They tell the fire brigade what the chemical is, what to use for protection against it, and what they can and can't use on it if it's on fire.
