Before accepting a hazmat shipment, what should you confirm about the package labels?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 66 (Hazardous Materials): That the labels match the hazard class and are not damaged or obscured
Why
A label that's peeling off, painted over, or simply wrong tells responders and handlers the wrong thing about what's inside, so matching and legible labels are part of what makes a shipment safe to accept.
