AMMO 67 (HAZMAT FAMILIARIZATION AND SAFETY IN TRANSPORTATION)
UPDATE/COMPREHENSIVE FREQUENTLY TESTED QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS/ GET IT 100% ACCURATE
Question 1
Which of the following are the primary modes of HAZMAT transportation?
A) Land, Underground, and Air
B) Land, Sea, and Air
C) Rail, Pipeline, and Land
D) Sea, Land, and Local
E) Air, Land, and Interstate
Correct Answer: B) land (highway/rail), sea, air
Rationale: Hazardous materials are transported globally using three primary modes: land
(which includes both highway and rail), sea (maritime), and air (aviation). Specific
regulations (49 CFR, IATA, IMDG) govern each mode.
Question 2
How is "HAZMAT" officially defined in the context of transportation?
A) Any chemical that smells bad or has a distinct color.
B) Any substance that is used exclusively by the military for combat.
C) Any material or substance capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and
property when transported.
D) Materials that are only dangerous when they are on fire.
E) Substances that cannot be disposed of in a standard landfill.
Correct Answer: C) any material or substance capable of posing an unreasonable risk to
health, safety, and property when transported.
Rationale: The legal definition focuses on the "unreasonable risk" the material poses to the
public, the environment, and property while in commerce or transit.
Question 3
Which of the following is NOT a core training component of the HAZMAT Familiarization and
Safety in Transportation course?
A) Emergency response
B) General awareness/familiarization
C) Advanced chemical synthesis and manufacturing
D) Security awareness
E) Applicability and responsibility
Correct Answer: C) Advanced chemical synthesis and manufacturing
Rationale: The course is designed for transportation safety. It covers four mandated areas:
general awareness, function-specific (applicability), safety (emergency response), and
security awareness.
Question 4
What is the primary function of the DD Form 626?
A) To request more ammunition from the depot.
, 2
B) To track the driver's fuel consumption.
C) To verify driver documentation and inspect vehicles before and after loading HAZMAT.
D) To report a vehicle accident to the state police.
E) To identify the chemical ingredients of a liquid.
Correct Answer: C) Used by the Quality Assurance Specialist- Ammunition Surveillance
(QASAS) or vehicle inspector to verify driver documentation and to inspect vehicles before
and after they are loaded with HAZMAT.
Rationale: The DD Form 626 is the standard Motor Vehicle Inspection document. It ensures
the driver is qualified and the vehicle is mechanically sound enough to carry dangerous
goods.
Question 5
Who is responsible for carrying a copy of the DD Form 626 during a HAZMAT shipment?
A) The Shipping Clerk
B) The Warehouse Manager
C) The Driver
D) The Security Guard at the gate
E) The First Responder
Correct Answer: C) Driver keeps a copy of the form with the shipping papers
Rationale: The driver must have the form available to prove the vehicle passed inspection at
the origin and for use by the receiving activity during the off-loading process.
Question 6
During a vehicle inspection using DD Form 626, which of the following is an inspector most
likely to check?
A) The driver's personal phone records
B) The vehicle's paint color
C) Driver's license and operating condition (brakes, tires, wipers, etc.)
D) The driver's education level
E) The cleanliness of the engine block
Correct Answer: C) driver's license, vehicle's operating condition (brakes, tires, windshield
wiper, tires, mirrors, etc.)
Rationale: The inspection focuses on two areas: the operator's qualifications
(documentation) and the mechanical safety of the vehicle (operating systems) to prevent
transit failures.
Question 7
Who is authorized to perform the vehicle inspection recorded on a DD Form 626?
A) Any soldier with a license
B) Specifically trained personnel (such as QASAS or certified inspectors)
C) The driver's immediate supervisor
, 3
D) The local fire department
E) The shipping clerk
Correct Answer: B) Specifically trained personnel will inspect the vehicle
Rationale: Ammunition and HAZMAT inspections require technical knowledge of the DD
Form 626 requirements to ensure no safety violations are overlooked.
Question 8
How many times is a vehicle transporting HAZMAT typically inspected using the DD Form
626?
A) Once a year
B) Only when an accident occurs
C) Before it's loaded, after it's loaded, and before it's unloaded
D) Only at the start of the trip
E) Every 100 miles
Correct Answer: C) Before it's loaded, After it's loaded, Before it's unloaded
Rationale: This "triad" of inspections ensures the vehicle was safe initially, the load was
secured properly before departure, and nothing shifted or broke during transit before the
receiving activity begins work.
Question 9
What happens if a vehicle fails to pass the inspection recorded on DD Form 626?
A) The driver is fired immediately.
B) The load is placed on the vehicle anyway to save time.
C) The vehicle is not loaded until repaired or replaced by a passing vehicle.
D) The inspector must pay for the repairs.
E) The vehicle is only allowed to drive during the day.
Correct Answer: C) The vehicle is not loaded until it is repaired or another vehicle (that can
pass inspection) is provided
Rationale: Safety is the priority. A vehicle that fails inspection is considered a risk and
cannot legally or safely transport hazardous materials until the deficiency is corrected.
Question 10
Which section of the DD Form 626 serves as a guide for an operator to "pre-inspect" their
vehicle before leaving the motor pool?
A) Section I
B) Section II
C) Section III
D) Section IV
E) The Instructions page
Correct Answer: B) Section II
Rationale: Section II contains the specific mechanical and safety items the vehicle must
