Study Notes

Hazmat CDL Key Concepts

Special training is required within 2 years for drivers transporting radioactive materials or flammable cryogenic liquids.
The driver must carry the certificate of radioactive materials training while on duty.
Hazardous material regulations in Title 49 CFR aim to contain the materials, communicate risks, and ensure safe drivers and equipment.

Responsibilities in Hazardous Material Transport

Shippers must label, package, and prepare shipping papers but are not responsible for placarding.
Carriers are responsible for verifying that the shipper has accurately named, labeled, and marked hazmat shipments.
Drivers must placard and transport shipments promptly, keeping shipping papers accessible.

Regulatory Lists and Compliance

Drivers, shippers, and carriers refer to the hazardous material table and a list of hazardous substances to determine regulated materials.
Forbidden materials cannot be transported by common carriers under any circumstances.

Placarding Regulations

For two liters of flammable liquid labeled poison inhalation hazard, placards must indicate poison and the appropriate hazard class.
An "X" or "RQ" in the HM column of shipping papers indicates that the shipment is hazardous and regulated.

Shipping Paper Requirements

The correct order for hazardous material descriptions on shipping papers is shipping name, hazard class, and ID number.
Non-hazardous materials must not be described using hazard classes or ID numbers.

Exceptions and Hazardous Waste

The only exception to shippers certifying packaged material compliance is when the shipper is a private carrier transporting their own goods.
A uniform hazardous waste manifest verifies that a vehicle is carrying hazardous waste.

Vehicle Placarding and Load Considerations

Vehicles transporting hazardous materials require four placards.
For 500 pounds of explosives, the correct placard is "explosive B."
For 600 pounds of organic peroxide and 500 pounds of oxidizer, use "dangerous" placard.

Loading and Safety Precautions

When loading hazardous materials, never use hooks for handling.
Maintain a distance of 50 feet from explosives, oxidizers, and flammables while smoking or during loading processes.
When loading explosives, ensure cargo spaces are free from sharp objects, functional cargo heaters, and loose floor liners.
