Study Notes
HAZMAT Overview
- HAZMAT refers to any solid, liquid, or gas posing risks to health, safety, or property.
Transportation Safety Violations
- Civil violations can occur unintentionally, as demonstrated when SPC Lucas overlooked incompatible packages during loading.
Hazard Types
- Corrosive hazards, such as hydrochloric acid, can damage materials or tissues.
- Minor explosives are identified by specific hazard labels, such as the orange diamond for explosives.
- Flammable liquids are recognized by their labels, which often display warning symbols.
- Poisons are represented by placards featuring skull and crossbones, indicating toxic materials.
Compatibility and Segregation
- Compatibility Group F can be transported with Group F according to compatibility tables for Class 1 (Explosive) materials.
- Safe transportation of Hazard Class 2.1 (flammable gases) with 2.2 (non-flammable gases) is allowed without restrictions.
Shipping Papers and Required Information
- The DD Form 2890 is vital for showing emergency response guidebook numbers.
- When transporting paint (UN3066, class 8), include ERG guide number 153 with shipping papers.
- Emergency Response Guidebook excerpts must accompany HAZMAT shipping documents.
Vehicle Inspection Requirements
- Vehicles must be inspected using DD Form 626 at both origin and destination points.

- Safety measures are crucial; negligence can lead to accidents with legal repercussions.
Hazard Labels and Classifications
- Various hazard classifications and divisions are represented by specific labels, such as Division 4.3 for specific hazards and minor explosive hazards.
- Information on HAZMAT labels must include UN numbers and hazard classifications to comply with transport regulations.
Emergency Response Guides
- The ERG green section provides crucial information for first responders, detailing materials by ID number and recommended actions.
- Knowledge of the incompatibility and safe distances for the transport of toxic inhalation hazards is essential for safety.
