  4. Regulates Cargo Handling and Transport:
  5. Assists in Emergency Preparedness:
58
Q

This hazard class involves all materials that can either conflagrate or detonate when a chemical reaction
takes place. Explosives can be subdivided into six categories depending on their behavior. Common
types of explosives include fireworks, primers and ammunition/ cartridges.

A
  1. EXPLOSIVES
59
Q

Compressed gases, liquified gases and refrigerated gases can be toxic and flammable. Flammable gases
can also include a mixture of one or more gases. Some examples include helium and helium compounds, refrigerant gases, fire extinguishers and aerosols

A
  1. FLAMMABLE GASES
60
Q

Within this category, you’ll find liquids, mixtures of liquids or liquids containing solids that are all
flammable. This composition makes them volatile and difficult to transport because of their potential to
ignite. Flammable liquids include common household products like paints, lacquers and kerosene, as well
as diesel fuel, turpentine and aviation fuel.

A
  1. FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
61
Q

Flammable solids also have the potential to heat up, combust and cause fires during transportation.
Some flammable solids could even become combustible when it comes into contact with water. Examples
of these types of solids include oily fabrics or cotton waste, metal powders and sodium batteries

A
  1. FLAMMABLE SOLIDS
62
Q

This classification can be broken down into either oxidizing agents or organic peroxides. Both of these
types of dangerous goods can react with flammable and combustible materials, causing fires that are
hard to extinguish. Some examples of oxidizing dangerous goods are hydrogen peroxide, ammonium
nitrate fertilizers and aluminum nitrate

A
  1. OXIDIZING
63
Q

These are substances that can cause serious injury or death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through
the skin. Along with disease-causing agents like parasites, bacteria and viruses, toxic substances include medical and biomedical waste, medical cultures and samples and clinical waste.

A
  1. TOXIC AND INFECTIOUS
64
Q

Materials that emit radiation can cause harm to the human body. These materials contain an unstable
nucleus, or radionuclides, which releases radioactive energy. Along with household products like smoke
detectors, radioactive goods include density gauges, depleted uranium and surface-contaminated
objects.

A
  1. RADIOACTIVE
65
Q

A corrosive material is highly reactive and capable of either degrading or disintegrating other materials
when they come in contact with them. Batteries, battery fluid and fire extinguisher charges are considered _ as well as acids and acid solutions.

A
  1. CORROSIVES
66
Q

Within the miscellaneous dangerous goods category, you’ll find a range of substances that don’t fall into
the other classifications. This can include anything from environmentally hazardous substances to
genetically modified organisms
