9.3 – Communication Rules

A shipping paper

A

describes the hazardous materials
being transported. Shipping orders, bills of lading,
and manifests are all shipping papers.
After an accident or hazardous materials spill or
leak, you may be injured and unable to
communicate the hazards of the materials you are
transporting. Firefighters and police can prevent or
reduce the amount of damage or injury at the scene
if they know what hazardous materials are being carried. Your life, and the lives of others, may
depend on quickly locating the hazardous materials

9.3.2 – Package Labels

A

Shippers put diamond-shaped hazard warning
labels on most hazardous materials packages.
These labels inform others of the hazard. If the
diamond label won’t fit on the package, shippers
may put the label on a tag securely attached to the
package. For example, compressed gas cylinders
that will not hold a label will have tags or decals.

Q
  1. 1 – The Intent of the Regulations

9. 1.1 – Contain the Material

A

Transporting hazardous materials can be risky. The
regulations are intended to protect you, those
around you, and the environment. They tell shippers
how to package the materials safely and drivers how
to load, transport, and unload the material. These
are called “containment rules.”

Q

9.1.2 – Communicate the Risk

A

To communicate the risk, shippers must warn
drivers and others about the material’s hazards. The
regulations require shippers to put hazard warning
labels on packages, provide proper shipping
papers, emergency response information, and
placards. These steps communicate the hazard to
the shipper, the carrier, and the driver.

Q

9.3.3 – Lists of Regulated Products

A

Placards are used to warn others of
hazardous materials. Placards are signs put on the
outside of a vehicle and on bulk packages, which
identify the hazard class of the cargo. A placarded
vehicle must have at least four identical placards. They are put on the front, rear, and both sides of the
vehicle.. Placards must be readable
from all four directions. They are at least 10 3/4
inches square, square-on-point, in a diamond
shape. Cargo tanks and other bulk packaging
display the identification number of their contents on
placards or orange panels or white square-on-point
displays that are the same size as placards.

Q

Identification numbers

A

Identification numbers are a four-digit code used by
first responders to identify hazardous materials. An
identification number may be used to identify more
than one chemical. The letters “NA or “UN” will
precede the identification number. The United
States Department of Transportation’s Emergency
Response Guidebook (ERG) lists the chemicals and
the identification numbers assigned to them.
There are three main lists used by shippers,
carriers, and drivers when trying to identify
hazardous materials. Before transporting a material,
look for its name on three lists. Some materials are
on all lists, others on only one. Always check the
following lists:
Section 172.101, the Hazardous Materials Table.
Appendix A to Section 172.101, the List of
Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities. Appendix B to Section 172.101, the List of Marine
Pollutants.

Covered with a fire and water resistant tarp.

35
Q

9.4.1 – General Loading Requirements

A

Before loading or unloading, set the parking brake.
Make sure the vehicle will not move.
Many products become more hazardous when
exposed to heat. Load hazardous materials away
from heat sources.
Watch for signs of leaking or damaged containers:
LEAKS SPELL TROUBLE! Do not transport leaking packages. Depending on the material, you, your
truck, and others could be in danger. It is illegal to
move a vehicle with leaking hazardous materials.
Containers of hazardous materials must be braced
to prevent movement of the packages during
transportation.

36
Q

Class 1 (Explosives) Materials.

A

Turn your engine
off before loading or unloading any explosives.
Then check the cargo space. You must:
Disable cargo heaters. Disconnect heater power
sources and drain heater fuel tanks.
Make sure there are no sharp points that might
damage cargo. Look for bolts, screws, nails, broken
side panels, and broken floorboards.
Use a floor lining with Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3. The
floors must be tight and the liner must be either nonmetallic material or non-ferrous metal. (Non-ferrous
metals are any metal that does not contain iron or
iron alloys).
Use extra care to protect explosives. Never use
hooks or other metal tools. Never drop, throw, or roll
packages. Protect explosive packages from other
cargo that might cause damage.
Do not transfer a Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 from one
vehicle to another on a public roadway except in an
emergency. If safety requires an emergency
transfer, set out red warning reflectors, flags, or
electric lanterns. You must warn others on the road.
Never transport damaged packages of explosives.
Do not take a package that shows any dampness or
oily stain.
Do not transport Division 1.1 or 1.2 in vehicle
combinations if:
There is a marked or placarded cargo tank in the
combination.
The other vehicle in the combination contains:
Division 1.1 A (Initiating Explosives).
Packages of Class 7 (Radioactive) materials
labeled “Yellow III.”
Division 2.3 (Poisonous Gas) or Division 6.1
(Poisonous) materials.
Hazardous materials in a portable tank, on a DOT
Spec 106A or 110A tank.

37
Q 
Class 4 (Flammable Solids) and Class 5
(Oxidizers) Materials.
A

Class 4 materials are solids
that react (including fire and explosion) to water,
heat, and air or even react spontaneously.
Class 4 and 5 materials must be completely
enclosed in a vehicle or covered securely. Class 4
and 5 materials, which become unstable and
dangerous when wet, must be kept dry while in
transit and during loading and unloading. Materials
that are subject to spontaneous combustion or heating must be in vehicles with sufficient
ventilation.
