Sample Connecticut HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

Which situation is an exception to the shipper-certification requirement for highway transportation?

  1. A The material is not marked with “RQ.”
  2. B The vehicle already displays the required placards.
  3. C The driver discovers that a package was prepared incorrectly.
  4. D Except for hazardous waste and certain transfers, the shipper transports the material as a private carrier.

Correct answer: D – Except for hazardous waste and certain transfers, the shipper transports the material as a private carrier.

Federal regulations generally require the person offering hazardous material to certify that it is properly classified, described, packaged, marked, and labeled. For highway transportation, certification is not required when a shipper transports the material as a private carrier, subject to stated exceptions. A carrier-supplied cargo tank is another applicable exception.

  1. A On or within 5 feet of the traveled portion of a public road
  2. B More than 5 feet from the traveled portion
  3. C 15 feet from the traveled portion
  4. D 50 feet from the traveled portion

Correct answer: A – On or within 5 feet of the traveled portion of a public road

Federal regulations prohibit parking a vehicle containing Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 material on or within five feet of the traveled portion of a public street or highway. This particular roadway-clearance prohibition does not include an exception for a brief operational stop.

What should you do first at a crash involving hazardous materials?

  1. A Continue to the nearest terminal.
  2. B Keep people away, warn them of the danger, and call for help.
  3. C Begin unloading every hazardous material package.
  4. D Move the vehicle regardless of the risk.

Correct answer: B – Keep people away, warn them of the danger, and call for help.

The Connecticut manual directs the driver to keep people far away and upwind, warn others, and call for help. Keep the shipping papers with you and communicate the hazard to emergency responders. Attempt to limit a release only when it can be done safely, and do not move the vehicle more than safety requires.

Question 4

When must the tires on a vehicle carrying placarded hazardous materials be examined?

  1. A At the start of the trip and every 100 miles

  3. C Every hour or 50 miles
  4. D At the beginning of each trip and every time the vehicle is parked

Correct answer: D – At the beginning of each trip and every time the vehicle is parked

Federal regulations require the driver to examine every tire at the beginning of each trip and each time the vehicle is parked. This includes tires in a dual-tire assembly. A flat, leaking, or improperly inflated tire must be corrected before further operation, except that the vehicle may be moved to the nearest safe repair location.

Question 5

If “INHALATION HAZARD” appears on the shipping paper or package, the appropriate poison-inhalation or poison-gas placard is required even for a small quantity.

Federal regulations require the appropriate POISON INHALATION HAZARD or POISON GAS placard for a material subject to the poison-inhalation-hazard shipping description. It must appear in addition to any other placard required for the material. The placarding requirement applies without the ordinary weight threshold used for many Table 2 materials.

  3. C Within 300 feet of a bridge or place where people assemble

A limited exception applies when operational necessities require a brief stop and parking elsewhere is impracticable.
