Question 1

You see the letters RQ in the HM column of a shipping paper entry. What do they tell you?

Accepted Answer

The shipment contains a reportable quantity of a hazardous substance

Answer

RQ means reportable quantity, so a spill of that amount or more must be reported.

Question 2

You leave your placarded truck to eat at a truck stop. Where must the hazmat shipping papers be?

Accepted Answer

On the driver's seat or in a holder on the inside of the driver's door

Answer

When you are away from the vehicle, the papers must be on the driver's seat or in a holder mounted on the inside of the driver's door so responders can find them.

Question 3

At one loading facility, you load 1,500 pounds of a Class 3 material and 2,500 pounds of a Class 8 material. You want to use a DANGEROUS placard. What rule applies?

Accepted Answer

A Corrosive placard must be displayed because at least 2,205 pounds of Class 8 was loaded at one facility

Answer

DANGEROUS may be used for mixed Table 2 loads, except that a category with 2,205 pounds or more loaded at one facility needs its own placard.

Question 4

A plus sign (+) appears in column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table beside a material's entry. What does it mean?

Accepted Answer

The listed shipping name, hazard class, and packing group must be used even if the material does not meet that class definition

Answer

The plus sign fixes the proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group regardless of whether the material meets the class definition.

Two shipments of the same type of material list different packing groups, I and III. What does Packing Group I indicate?
