CDL · Hazardous materials
After a hazardous materials incident, which of these would NOT require you or your employer to notify the National Response Center?
Correct answer: Black ice gives the road a wet appearance.
Answer options
- ABlack ice gives the road a wet appearance Correct
- BSome of the hazardous cargo spills
- CA person dies because of the incident
Why
A call to the National Response Center is required when a hazardous materials incident directly causes outcomes such as a death, an injury needing hospital care, a spill, an evacuation, or a major road closure. Black ice is an everyday road hazard, not a result of a HazMat incident, so it does not trigger such a report.
