Abstract: Shipping papers identify the presence of hazardous materials that assist carrier personel and emergency responders in the proper safety procedures and incident mitigation, and are considered a basic hazard communication tool when transporting such materials. Subsidiary hazard class and type of packagings identification further assist by reducing: (1) the need to sort through multiple entries on shipping papers to determine what hazardous materials are in a transport vehicle; and (2) delays in making proper determinations concerning the mitigation of an accident.
