CDL · Hazardous materials
When hazardous waste is shipped, who must sign the Hazardous Waste Manifest?
Correct answer: The shipper, each carrier handling the shipment, and the recipient.
Answer options
- AOnly the shipper and the facility that receives it
- BOnly the shipper and the first carrier that picks it up
- CThe shipper, each carrier handling the shipment, and the recipient Correct
Why
Everyone who handles the waste signs the manifest: the shipper prepares and signs it, each carrier signs when it takes over the shipment, and the receiving facility signs at delivery. A missing signature would leave a gap in the record of who had custody of the waste.
