Sample Georgia HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

In Georgia, which security requirement must be satisfied before a hazardous materials endorsement can be issued?

  1. A. Pass a passenger-vehicle skills test
  2. B. Schedule a hazardous-materials road test
  3. C. Complete the TSA background check and fingerprinting process
  4. D. Obtain a doubles and triples endorsement

Correct answer: C. – Complete the TSA background check and fingerprinting process

Federal security requirements subject hazardous materials endorsement applicants to a Transportation Security Administration background check and fingerprinting. This requirement is separate from the hazardous materials knowledge test and applicable entry-level driver training. Passing the knowledge test alone does not satisfy all requirements for the endorsement.

Question 2

Shipping orders, bills of lading, and hazardous-waste manifests are examples of what?

  1. A. Placarding documents
  2. B. Driver qualification records
  3. C. Optional cargo receipts
  4. D. Shipping papers

Correct answer: D. – Shipping papers

These documents are different forms of shipping papers. A hazardous materials shipping paper describes the regulated material and provides information needed by carriers, drivers, inspectors, and emergency responders. When hazardous and nonhazardous documents are carried together, the hazardous materials shipping paper must be readily recognizable and quickly accessible.

Question 3

Which practice is required when handling packages containing Class 1 explosives?

  1. A. Wrap wet packages in plastic before loading them
  2. B. Do not use hooks or other metal tools
  3. C. Roll heavy packages into their loading positions
  4. D. Stack the packages against sharp cargo-space edges

Correct answer: B. – Do not use hooks or other metal tools

Explosive packages require especially careful handling. Do not use hooks or other metal tools, and never drop, throw, or roll the packages. Before loading, inspect the cargo area for nails, screws, broken boards, or other sharp points that could damage the packaging. Protect the explosives from contact with other cargo that could cause damage.

Question 4

After a collision involving a vehicle carrying explosives, what must occur before the vehicles are separated?

  1. A. The shipper’s loading supervisor must arrive
  2. B. The vehicles must remain together for at least 30 minutes
  3. C. The vehicles must remain together for at least 45 minutes
  4. D. The explosives must be removed and placed at least 200 feet from the vehicles and occupied buildings

Correct answer: D. – The explosives must be removed and placed at least 200 feet from the vehicles and occupied buildings

Remove all explosives before attempting to separate vehicles involved in the collision. Place the explosives at least 200 feet from the vehicles and occupied buildings, and remain a safe distance away. Warn other people of the danger, keep bystanders away, and do not permit smoking or open flames near the scene.

Question 5

When a hazardous-material package must display identification markings, which code must be included?

  1. A. The shipper’s telephone number
  2. B. The material’s identification number
  3. C. The vehicle’s license number
  4. D. The package’s gross weight

Correct answer: B. – The material’s identification number

Required non-bulk package markings generally include the proper shipping name and the material’s identification number. Federal rules require the identification number to be preceded by “UN,” “NA,” or “ID,” as appropriate. The number helps drivers, inspectors, and emergency responders match the package to the regulated material listed in the Hazardous Materials Table.

Question 6

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

  1. A. The cargo includes less-than-truckload freight
  2. B. The vehicle has an automatic sprinkler system
  3. C. The vehicle can safely pass without stopping
  4. D. The vehicle can remain at least 100 feet from the fire

Correct answer: C. – The vehicle can safely pass without stopping

Federal regulations prohibit operating a motor vehicle containing hazardous materials near an open fire unless the driver first determines that the vehicle can pass safely without stopping. The vehicle also must not be parked within 300 feet of an open fire. A different route should be selected when safe passage cannot be confirmed.
