DOT Basics
• HazMat Definition: Title 49 CFR, Section 171.8 defines a hazardous material as a material that is “capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce.”
• A material is considered “hazardous” if it meets one or more of the hazardous class definitions in the hazmat regulations and/or is a hazardous substance, marine pollutant, or elevated temperature material.
DOT BasicsHazard Classes:• Class 1, Explosives – Division 1-6• Class 2, Gases – Division 1-3• Class 3, Flammable and Combustible Liquids• Class 4, Solids – Division 1-3• Class 5, Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides – Div. 1-2• Class 6, Poisonous Materials and Infectious
Substances – Div. 1-2• Class 7, Radioactive Material• Class 8, Corrosive Material• Class 9, Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials
Hazard Class 1 Examples
Hazard Class 2 Examples

DOT Basics
The most difficult challenge:
Determining whether a material is hazardous!!!
Hazardous Materials Table
10 Columns: Column 1 – SymbolsColumn 2 – Hazardous Description And Proper Shipping Name Column 3 – Hazard Class or DivisionColumn 4 – ID NumbersColumn 5 – Packing GroupColumn 6 – LabelsColumn 7 – Special ProvisionsColumn 8 – PackagingsColumn 9 – Quantity LimitationsColumn 10 – Vessel Storage
Hazardous Materials Table
Column 1 – 6 Symbols
1. + - Fixes the proper shipping name, haz class, packing group2. A – Restricts application for aircraft transport3. G – Requires one or more technical names that need to be entered in parentheses4. D – Identifies proper shipping names for domestic transport, but not for international transport5. I – Identifies proper shipping names for international transport.6. W – Restricts application for vessel transport.
Hazardous Materials Table
Column 2 – Hazardous Description And Proper Shipping Name • Note: Proper shipping names are in ROMAN type not in italics.• Also, if you cannot find the name of your hazardous material(s), it may not be hazardous. If is it, then select a generic or N.O.S. (not otherwise specified) name that most accurately describes your hazmat.
Hazardous Materials Table
Column 3 – Hazard Class or Division
Note: Make sure that the one listed for the selected proper shipping name matches the material being transported. This also helps determine the labeling and packaging requirements.
