Which resource contains information on hazard class, packaging requirements, and shipping restrictions for hazmat?

• A. The DOT HazMat Table (49 CFR 172.101)
• B. The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
• C. The EPA Hazardous Waste List
• D. The IMDG Code

Answer: (A)

Hazmat transportation relies on an authoritative resource that combines hazard classification with packaging instructions and shipping restrictions. The DOT HazMat Table in 49 CFR 172.101 is the primary US reference for assigning hazard classes, detailing the required packaging and the shipping restrictions that apply to hazmat across road, rail, air, and water transport. It brings together hazard class numbers, proper shipping names, packing groups, and any special provisions, making it the most directly applicable source for these details. While the IMDG Code covers similar information for international maritime shipments, and OSHA and EPA standards address different aspects (worker hazard communication and hazardous waste lists, respectively), they do not centralize hazmat packaging and shipping rules in the way the DOT HazMat Table does.
