CDL · Hazardous materials
A hazardous materials label is too big to fit on the package it belongs to. What may the shipper do?
Correct answer: Attach the label to a tag that is securely fastened to the package.
Answer options
- ALeave the label off, since the shipping papers describe the material
- BPrint a QR code on the package in place of the label
- CAttach the label to a tag that is securely fastened to the package Correct
Why
If a package is too small for its label, the shipper is allowed to put the label on a tag that is firmly tied to the package. A QR code is not a substitute for a required label, and listing the material on shipping papers does not replace the label on the package.
