Challenge

Hazmat Supply Chain Compliance Agent for Nizwa Industrial City

Nizwa Industrial City signed a $10.4m chemical and oilfield project in Oman. Build an automated chemical tracking and safety compliance agent in Python that validates chemical transport documentation against international Hazmat transport codes. Maintain 100% detection of unflagged hazardous chemical combinations.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates hazmat compliance checking and chemical incompatibility detection.

Datasets

Shared data for this challenge

Review public datasets and any private uploads tied to your build.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

incompatibility_flag

Ensures oxidizers and flammable liquids are strictly flagged

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

violation_detection_recall

Recall metric on detecting prohibited chemical co-loadings • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Parse Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers and UN Hazmat numbers from shipping manifests.

  • Cross-check chemical compatibility matrix to detect hazardous reactions during transit/storage.

  • Validate safety data sheets (SDS) against Omani environmental safety standards.

  • Issue automated handling guidelines and emergency spill protocols.
