CDL · Hazardous materials
Per the CDL manual, a hazmat incident's property damage has to be over what amount before either you or your employer is required to phone the National Response Center?
Correct answer: $50,000.
Answer options
- A$10,000
- B$50,000 Correct
- C$25,000
Why
According to the CDL manual, property damage above $50,000 is one reason you or your employer must call the National Response Center after a hazmat incident; a death and an injury requiring hospitalization are others. Damage of just $10,000 or $25,000 does not meet that threshold.
