Thanks to the hazard warning label nowadays we can witness an improved quality and consistency in the classification as well as in the worker comprehension. The percentage of injuries and illnesses caused due to exposures to hazardous materials is significantly lowered.
Hazard warning labeling can be divided into three steps:
- Step One: Performing the classification;
- Step Two: Gathering full label information;
- Step Three: Creating the label;
It is of a great importance that the chemical manufacturers, as well as the shippers, pay attention to ensure that each container of hazardous materials is entering the highways labeled.
HAZMAT Shipping Containers
Hazmat transportation can be performed by using different types of trucks; most commonly hazardous materials are being transported with hazmat shipping containers.
Thereupon, hazmat shipping containers are also called drums. The drums are in fact what most responders and most people in the hazmat transportation business are familiar with. The size of the hazmat shipping containers can vary from 1 gallon up to 95 gallons.
