In the example shipping paper entry, Hydrogen Bromide is described with what hazard classification?

• A. Non-hazardous material
• B. Flammable liquid
• C. Toxic gas
• D. Corrosive gas

Answer: (A)

Hydrogen bromide is a hazardous gas and the shipping paper entry communicates the material’s most significant danger to anyone handling it. The key risk here is toxicity from inhalation, so the material is described as a toxic gas on the paper. It is not non-hazardous, and it is not a flammable liquid. While hydrogen bromide is corrosive, the primary descriptor used in these classifications centers on its toxic gas hazard, rather than labeling it solely as a corrosive gas.
