2. ‘SHIP’ is an acronym for four elements on basic shipping descriptions. What are they?
S =
H =
I =
P =
Proper Shipping Name
Hazard
Identification number
Packing Group

6. Labeling and Marking
Labels describe hazards of materials within a container.
Multiple hazards require multiple labels
Placed within 6” of the product label, no more than 6” apart
Primary labels placed above and left of a subsidiary label
Placed near proper shipping name, on same surface, and must be visible while riding in a vehicle
Markings describe materials and packaging.
Inhalation Hazard labels are required for Division 2.3 & 6.1 materials.
‘Poisonous-Inhalation Hazard’ and ‘Hazard Zone A’ (B, C, or D) will be entered on the shipping paper.
Inhalation Hazard labels must be within 2” of the product label and on top of the container.

7. HAZARDS are classed in two categories:2
Types of Hazards
HAZARDS are classed in two categories:
Safety hazards are
working conditions
harmful to workers:
High noise levels
Radiation hazards
Thermal extremes
Poor ergonomics
Shock hazards
Hazards from
ionizing radiation
Etc.
1. Chemical hazards pose
either a health hazard
or a physical hazard.
Name some of them.

Health
2. What law requires employers to identify chemical
hazards present in the workplace?
OSHA Hazard
Communication
Standard
(29 CFR ),
the Employee Right-to-Know Law, requires employers to identify chemical
hazards present in the workplace.
Explosives
Flammables
Reactives
Oxidizers
Carcinogens
Sensitizers
Irritants
Reproductive

Combustibles
Water
Air

8. Hazard Identification10
Hazard Identification
MSDSs are required for all employers.
These should be available for all hazardous chemicals used in the workplace.
They must be available to all employees during all work shifts.
OSHA requires the following information on all MSDSs:
Identity of chemicals
Permissible exposure levels
Precautions to prevent injury
Personal protective equipment
Control measures to reduce exposure
Hazards can be identified by the use of:
HMIS, NFPA, and DOT placards and labels
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
The three most common labeling systems are:
HMIS (Hazardous Material Identification System)
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
DOT (Dept. of Transportation)
Class 1: Explosive
Class 3: Flammable/ Combustible Liquid
Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Materials
Class 6: Poison
Class 5: Oxidizers/ Organic Peroxide
Class 4: Spontaneously Combustible
Class 7: Radioactive
Class 2: Gases
Class 8: Corrosive Materials
