Sample Arizona HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

May stainless steel be used as the required floor lining when transporting Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosives?

  1. A Yes, stainless steel is required
  2. B No, the lining must be nonmetallic or non-ferrous
  3. C Yes, if every package is palletized
  4. D Only during an exclusive-use shipment

Correct answer: B – No, the lining must be nonmetallic or non-ferrous

Federal explosives-carriage rules require tight floors and a load-contact surface lined with nonmetallic material or non-ferrous metal. Stainless steel contains iron and is not a non-ferrous lining material. Arizona’s CDL manual uses the same distinction when describing the required floor lining for Division 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 explosives.

Question 2

Hazardous-material regulations are intended to contain the product, promote safe drivers and equipment, and accomplish what other purpose?

  1. A Determine transportation taxes
  2. B Communicate the risk
  3. C Set carrier insurance prices
  4. D Assign delivery schedules

Correct answer: B – Communicate the risk

Communicating the risk allows drivers, dockworkers, emergency responders, and others to recognize the hazards involved. Shipping papers, package labels, emergency-response information, markings, and placards provide that warning. Arizona’s manual presents risk communication, containment, and safe drivers and equipment as the three main purposes of the hazardous-material rules.

Question 3

After a reportable hazardous-material release involving an RQ substance, when is the detailed DOT incident report due?

  1. A Within 7 days
  2. B Within 14 days
  3. C Within 15 days
  4. D Within 30 days

Correct answer: D – Within 30 days

Federal incident-reporting rules require the person who had physical possession of the material to submit the detailed hazardous-material incident report within 30 days after discovering the incident. A release of a hazardous substance at or above its reportable quantity can also require telephone notice as soon as practical, but no later than 12 hours after the incident.

Question 4

Which document must a driver keep while transporting Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosives?

  1. A A copy of the carrier’s insurance policy
  2. B The driver’s health-insurance card
  3. C A written route plan
  4. D A vehicle purchase agreement

Correct answer: C – A written route plan

Federal routing rules require the carrier or its agent to prepare a written route plan before transporting Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 explosives and provide a copy to the driver. The driver must follow the plan and keep it while transporting the shipment. A driver may prepare it when the trip begins away from the carrier’s terminal.

Question 5

Before operating a placarded vehicle near an open fire, what must the driver determine?

  1. A That the cargo is nonflammable
  2. B That the vehicle has an automatic sprinkler system
  3. C That the vehicle can pass safely without stopping
  4. D That the fire is at least 100 feet from the roadway

Correct answer: C – That the vehicle can pass safely without stopping

Federal driving rules prohibit operating a covered hazardous-material vehicle near an open fire unless the driver first takes precautions to determine that it can pass safely without stopping. Whether the product itself is flammable is not the deciding condition. Heat can also damage packages or containers and create additional hazards.

Question 6

Which element appears first in a hazardous material’s basic description on a shipping paper?

  1. A The hazard class or division
  2. B The identification number
  3. C The proper shipping name
  4. D The packing group

Correct answer: B – The identification number

Federal shipping-paper rules place the identification number first in the basic description. It is followed by the proper shipping name, the hazard class or division, and the packing group when one applies. Additional required information may accompany the description, but it does not change this basic sequence.
