Sample Arkansas HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

A stopped vehicle has a leaking hazardous-material package, and no immediate danger requires moving it. What should the driver do?

  1. A Carry the package to a more convenient location
  2. B Continue driving until the shipper can be contacted
  3. C Transfer the material into another package
  4. D Keep the vehicle parked, secure the area, and obtain help

Correct answer: D – Keep the vehicle parked, secure the area, and obtain help

The Arkansas manual directs the driver to park, secure the area, stay with the vehicle, and send someone else for help. Do not touch the leaking material or attempt to identify it by smell. If moving the vehicle later becomes necessary for immediate safety, move it only as far as safety requires.

Question 2

When hazardous material is spilling from your vehicle, how far should you move it?

  1. A Only far enough to face the vehicle upwind
  2. B No more than 100 feet
  3. C No more than 500 feet
  4. D No farther than safety requires

Correct answer: D – No farther than safety requires

The Arkansas manual says not to move a vehicle carrying a hazardous-material spill any farther than safety requires. Moving off the roadway or away from a gathering place may be appropriate if it improves safety. The vehicle should be moved only when doing so does not endanger the driver or anyone else.

Question 3

How often must a hazmat employee receive recurrent hazardous-materials training?

  1. A Every year
  2. B At least once every three years
  3. C Every five years
  4. D Only when requested by the employer

Correct answer: B – At least once every three years

Federal hazardous-materials regulations require recurrent training at least once every three years. The training must cover the applicable general-awareness, function-specific, safety, and security subjects. In-depth security training must also be updated within 90 days when a covered security plan is revised during the three-year cycle.

Question 4

Which additional placard is required for material described as a poison inhalation hazard?

  1. A POISON INHALATION HAZARD or POISON GAS, as appropriate
  2. B DANGEROUS
  3. C FLAMMABLE
  4. D No additional placard is required

Correct answer: A – POISON INHALATION HAZARD or POISON GAS, as appropriate

Federal regulations require a POISON INHALATION HAZARD or POISON GAS placard, as appropriate, on each side and each end of the vehicle or container. It is displayed in addition to any other placard required for the material. The requirement applies without relying on the usual weight-based placarding exception.

Question 5

Which situation is an exception to the usual shipper-certification requirement for hazardous material transported by motor vehicle?

  1. A The material is not marked as a reportable quantity
  2. B The vehicle displays all required placards
  3. C The packaging does not comply with the regulations
  4. D Except for hazardous waste, the shipper transports its own material as a private carrier and it is not being reshipped or transferred

Correct answer: D – Except for hazardous waste, the shipper transports its own material as a private carrier and it is not being reshipped or transferred

Federal regulations provide this exception when the shipper transports its own material as a private carrier, unless the material is hazardous waste or is being reshipped or transferred between carriers. A separate exception applies when the carrier supplies the cargo tank. Proper placarding by itself does not remove the certification requirement.

Question 6

For a non-exclusive-use highway shipment of Class 7 material, what is the maximum combined transport index for the packages in one vehicle?

  1. A 10
  2. B 25
  3. C 50
  4. D 100

Correct answer: C – 50

Federal regulations limit the sum of package transport indices to 50 for a non-exclusive-use shipment carried by highway. The transport index indicates the degree of radiation-control precautions needed. An exclusive-use consignment is treated differently and may have no total-index limit when all applicable exclusive-use conditions are satisfied.
