The Department of Transportation has regulations in place to safeguard the transportation of hazardous and the companies and employees who ship such items. This is particularly vital for industries that transport dangerous and potentially hazardous materials. The hazmat transportation marks the DOT has issued are universal, making them easy to understand by men and women across a number of transportation industries. Hazmat signage alerts employees, facility managers, the general public, and emergency responders of contents and potential dangers and hazards.
Every day, American businesses dispatch more than a million shipments that qualify as hazardous material and require the necessary compliance markings. The DOT is charged with maintaining safety from the dispatch to the delivery of these materials. Hazmat (hazardous materials) include hazardous substances and waste, explosives, marine pollutants, and elevated temperature material among other items. These shipments must contain shipping papers that communicate a potential hazard, marks and labels that contain identifying numbers and symbols, and placards for freights, aircraft, and other heavy loads that convey crucial weights and warnings.
