Question 1

You are hauling hazmat and approach a tunnel. What should you do?

Many tunnels prohibit certain hazardous materials, so you must check local restrictions before entering any tunnel.

Question 2

What is the proper procedure if your hazmat cargo begins leaking during transport?

Accepted Answer

Pull over safely, keep people away, and contact emergency services

Answer

You must stop safely, protect people from the hazard, and contact emergency services — never continue driving a leaking hazmat load.

Question 3

Non-bulk packages of Class 8 corrosives require placarding when the total weight equals or exceeds 1,001 pounds — but certain materials require placards in any amount.

Question 4

Which division of Class 1 (Explosives) poses the greatest risk of a mass explosion affecting the entire load?

Division 1.1 explosives have a mass explosion hazard, meaning the entire load could detonate at once.

Answer

Segregation means keeping incompatible hazardous materials physically separated so they cannot react with each other if a package fails.
