Types of hazmat transportation -Ans>>land (highway/rail)
sea
air
Define hazmat -Ans>>any material or substance capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health,
safety, and property when transported.
What training does the HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in Transportation course provide? -
Ans>>applicability and responsibility
emergency response
general awareness/familiarization
security awareness
What if the function of a DD Form 626? -Ans>>*Used by the Quality Assurance Specialist-
Ammunition Surveillance (QASAS) or vehicle inspector to verify driver documentation and to inspect
vehicles before and immediately after they are loaded with HAZMAT
*Driver keeps a copy of the form with the shipping papers
*Form is used by the receiving ASP or depot for inspection before unloading
What do you think the inspector looks for during the vehicle inspection? -Ans>>driver's license
vehicle's operating condition (brakes, tires, windshield wiper, tires, mirrors, etc.)
Who inspects the vehicle? -Ans>>Specifically trained personnel will inspect the vehicle
What are the vehicle requirements to pass inspection? -Ans>>DD Form 626 lists the requirements for
a vehicle to pass inspection
How many times is the vehicle inspected? -Ans>>Before it's loaded
After it's loaded
Before it's unloaded
What happens if the vehicle does not pass inspection? -Ans>>The vehicle is not loaded until it is
repaired or another vehicle (that can pass inspection) is provided
Which section of DD Form 626 may be used as a guide to pre-inspect the vehicle before leaving the
motor pool? -Ans>>Section II
What are the different hazard classes? -Ans>>Hazard class: is a grouping of hazardous materials based
on their similar characteristics (gas, liquid, solid)
9 classes:
Class 1 Explosives
Class 2 Gases (Acetylene and oxygen)
Class 3 Flammable liquids (Acetone)
Class 4 Flammable Solids, Spontaneously Combustible, or Water Reactive (MRE heater on fire)
Class 5 Oxidizers or Organic Peroxides (ammonium nitrate)
Class 6 Toxic or Infectious Materials (arsenic trioxide)
Class 7 Radioactive Material (different forms of uranium)
Class 8 Corrosive Material (hydrochloric acid)
Class 9 Miscellaneous Hazardous Material (dry ice)

, What is a compatibility group? -Ans>>materials can be safely transported and stored together
without creating a greater hazard
HC 1 materials show compatibility through letters (Compatibility groups identify ammo items that can
be shipped together.)
Identify hazards class(es), check the shipping papers, package labels, and placards -Ans>>Shipping
papers: The basic description identifies the material's hazard class
Package labels: enables you to identify the hazard class(es) contained in a package
Placards: identifies the hazard class of the material a vehicle transports
Hazard class knowledge -Ans>>As a HAZMAT employee, knowing the hazard class and what they are
capable of doing allows you to safety transport or store hazardous materials.
First responders must know the hazard class to correctly respond to the type of emergency (gas,
liquid, explosive, etc.) With this information, they can safely control and contain a HAZMAT accident
and protect the public.
What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact with each
other are transported together? -Ans>>Possible Hazards
Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other, they are
capable of producing other hazards
i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic vapor (which is
an inhalation hazard).
Hazard Class Division -Ans>>Some hazard classes are separated into divisions. These divisions identify
the different types of hazard within a hazard class. For example, HC 1 (explosives) can have hazards
such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to exploding
Learn more HC Division -Ans>>HC 1
1.1 Mass explosion hazard (bombs, 155 projectile)
1.2 Fragmentation hazard (some grenades and 105mm cartridges)
1.3 Fire hazard (propellant, artillery charges)
1.4 Minor explosion hazard (small arms ammunition, smoke grenades)
1.5 Very intensive explosives (blasting agents)
1.6 Extremely intensive explosives (no mass explosive hazard)
HC2
2.1 Flammable gases (acetylene, butane, hydrogen)
2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases (helium, nitrogen, and neon)
2.3 Gases poisonous by inhalation (chlorine, ammonia anhydrous, carbon monoxide)
HC 3
Materials that ignite easily. This is due to flash point. A flash point is the temperature at which a
material gives off enough vapor to ignite. (fuel aviation turbine engine (JP-8), gasoline, and some
alcohol beverages)
HC 4
4.1 Flammable solids that catch fire easily (safety or strike anywhere matches)
4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials that can catch fire without a separate heat source (charcoal
briquettes, linseed oil)
4.3 Dangerous when wet materials (materials that can explode or emit flammable gas when in
contact with water)
i.e. potassium, sodium, MRE heaters
HC 5
5.1 Oxidizer: materials that does not burn on its own, but gives off oxygen, which could cause other
materials to burn
i.e. ammonium nitrate fertilizer, hydrogen peroxide
5.2 Organic peroxide (liquid or solid) that contain oxygen
i.e. polyester resin kits used to patch vehicle tires or repair boats
HC 6
6.1 Poisonous materials (liquid or solid) so toxic to humans that it is a hazard to health
