Student Text IAFF Training for Hazardous Materials: Technician© U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazard Identification System The U. S. DOT’s Hazardous Materials Transportation Administration regulates over 1,400 hazardous materials. The DOT requires labels on small containers and placards on tanks and trailers. These placards and labels indicate the nature of the hazard. Classification used for placards and labels is based on an International Classification System. Materials are described using hazard class numbers that are found in the bottom corner of a DOT placard or label. The DOT numbering system has no relationship to the NFPA or HMIS numbering systems! To facilitate handling a hazardous material incident, placards may show a 4-digit identification number. This number comes from the Hazardous Materials Table in the DOT regulations, 49 CFR 172.101. This ID number can be found on shipping papers, the hazardous waste manifest, and hazardous waste markers. Once the 4-digit number is obtained, the North American Emergency Response Guidebook can be consulted. This book outlines recommended methods and precautions for responding to a release of each hazardous materials with a 4-digit ID number. Material Safety Data Sheets Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to obtain or develop Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and supply them to the employer. The employer is required to have MSDSs available for all hazardous chemicals used in the work place and must make them available to all employees during all work shifts. Module 1: Regulations 1-91
