The hazmat shipping paper includes which of the following?

• A. Hazmat-specific information such as hazard class, proper shipping name, and identification number.
• B. Destination address only.
• C. The shipper's telephone number only.
• D. The content's price only.

Answer: (A)

Hazmat shipping papers must include hazmat-specific information that identifies the material for anyone handling or responding to an incident. The essential items are the hazard class, the proper shipping name, and the identification number. The hazard class signals the broad type of danger (for example, flammable liquid, toxic, or corrosive). The proper shipping name is the standardized term used in regulations so everyone refers to the same substance. The identification number (UN or ID number) uniquely identifies the material, telling responders exactly what it is and which emergency procedures to follow. Together, these details allow correct handling and emergency response. Destination address, the shipper’s telephone number, and the price are not parts of the hazmat identity itself, so they don’t fulfill the requirement of clearly identifying the hazardous material.
