Package labels: enables you to identify the hazard class(es) contained in a package

Hazard class knowledge -Answer- As a HAZMAT employee, knowing the hazard class
and what they are capable of doing allows you to safety transport or store hazardous

and contain a HAZMAT accident and protect the public.
What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact
with each other are transported together? -Answer- Possible Hazards
Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other,
they are capable of producing other hazards
i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic
vapor (which is an inhalation hazard).
Hazard Class Division -Answer- Some hazard classes are separated into divisions.
These divisions identify the different types of hazard within a hazard class. For example,
HC 1 (explosives) can have hazards such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to
exploding
