Material Safety Data Sheets

Transportation Information

The shipping of hazardous materials is regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This section provides the important DOT shipping name, ID (UN or NA numbers), hazard class, and labels required to be on the container. This section is especially valuable if the hazardous material will be shipped from this campus.

Before shipping, the container must be properly labeled with the appropriate placards and ID names and numbers. If an accident occurs during shipment, these numbers are used by hazmat personnel.
