Sample Georgia HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

Which regulated combustible-liquid package requires placarding based on its size even when the load weighs less than 1,001 pounds?

  1. A. A liquid drum with a maximum capacity of 100 gallons
  2. B. A liquid receptacle with a maximum capacity of 110 gallons
  3. C. A liquid receptacle with a maximum capacity greater than 119 gallons
  4. D. Every non-bulk package containing any amount

Correct answer: C. – A liquid receptacle with a maximum capacity greater than 119 gallons

Federal regulations list combustible liquids in Placard Table 2 and generally exempt non-bulk loads weighing less than 1,001 pounds. That weight exception does not apply to bulk packaging. For liquids, a receptacle with a maximum capacity greater than 450 liters, or 119 gallons, is a bulk package. Georgia’s manual also distinguishes bulk packages from the Table 2 weight exception.

Question 2

When a cargo tank is loaded with a Class 3 flammable liquid through an open filling hole, what is required?

  1. A. Ground the tank only when the material is an explosive
  2. B. Make the bonding or grounding connection before opening the hole and keep it until the hole is closed
  3. C. Connect the bond wire only after the transfer has begun
  4. D. Remove the connection before closing the filling hole

Correct answer: B. – Make the bonding or grounding connection before opening the hole and keep it until the hole is closed

Federal regulations require a continuous electrical connection when a cargo tank is loaded through an open filling hole. The bond wire must be connected before any filling hole is opened and remain connected until after the last filling hole is closed. A vapor-tight top or bottom transfer may qualify for a different rule because it does not release vapor where a spark could occur.

Question 3

Which party uses the hazardous materials regulations to determine a shipment’s identification number, proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group?

  1. A. The Department of Transportation
  2. B. The carrier
  3. C. The shipper
  4. D. The driver

Correct answer: C. – The shipper

The shipper uses the hazardous materials regulations to identify and describe the product, select appropriate packaging, mark and label packages, and prepare the shipping paper. The carrier checks that the shipment was properly prepared before accepting it. The Georgia study guide assigns the driver responsibility for checking the shipment and transporting it safely.

Question 4

Which hazard class uses a transport index to control loading and separation during transportation?

  1. A. Class 2
  2. B. Class 5
  3. C. Class 7
  4. D. Class 8

Correct answer: C. – Class 7

A transport index is used for certain Class 7 radioactive-material packages. It helps determine loading limits and required separation from people, animals, and undeveloped film. Federal rules generally limit the sum of transport indexes to 50 for a non-exclusive-use conveyance; qualifying exclusive-use shipments are subject to different conditions.

Question 5

Which element appears first in the basic description of a hazardous material 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, hazard class or division, and packing group when one is assigned. Additional information, such as quantity and package type, may also be required but does not change the order of the basic description.

Question 6

You discover hazardous material leaking from your vehicle at a rest area, and you cannot call for help. What should you do?

  1. A. Drive until you find a telephone or emergency service
  2. B. Unload the leaking packages and leave to get help
  3. C. Park, secure the area, remain there, and send someone else for help
  4. D. Cover the evidence of the leak and continue the trip

Correct answer: C. – Park, secure the area, remain there, and send someone else for help

The Georgia study guide directs the driver to park the vehicle, secure the area, stay at the scene, and send someone else for help. Moving a leaking vehicle can spread contamination and may endanger other people. Provide the messenger with the location, emergency description, carrier information, and hazardous-material details if known.
