ammo 67 exam
1. Types of hazmat transportation: land (highway/rail) sea
air
2. Define hazmat: any material or substance capable of posing an
unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported.
3. What training does the HAZMAT Familiarization and Safety in
Transportation course provide?: applicability and responsibility
emergency response
general awareness/familiarization
security awareness
4. What if the function of a DD Form 626?: *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
5. What do you think the inspector looks for during the vehicle
inspection?: driver's license
vehicle's operating condition (brakes, tires, windshield wiper, tires, mirrors, etc.) 6.
Who inspects the vehicle?: Specifically trained personnel will inspect the vehicle
7. What are the vehicle requirements to pass inspection?: DD Form 626 lists
the requirements for a vehicle to pass inspection
8. How many times is the vehicle inspected?: Before it's loaded
After it's loaded
Before it's unloaded
9. What happens if the vehicle does not pass inspection?: The vehicle is not
loaded until it is repaired or another vehicle (that can pass inspection) is
provided 10. Which section of DD Form 626 may be used as a guide to pre-
inspect the vehicle before leaving the motor pool?: Section II
11. What are the different hazard classes?: Hazard class: is a grouping of
hazardous materials based on their similar characteristics (gas, liquid, solid)
9 classes:
1/9
, ammo 67 exam
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)
Acronym:
Every Good Fire Fighter Ought To Recognize Corrosive Materials
12. What is a compatibility group?: 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.)
13. Identify hazards class(es), check the shipping papers, package labels,
and placards: 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
14. Hazard class knowledge: 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.
15. What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously
when in contact with each other are transported together?: 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).
