Sample Nevada HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

A vehicle carrying material described as a “Poison Inhalation Hazard” must display the appropriate poison-inhalation or poison-gas placards even when only a small quantity is carried.

  1. A True
  2. B False

Correct answer: A – True

Poisonous material subject to the Poison Inhalation Hazard shipping description requires a POISON INHALATION HAZARD or POISON GAS placard, as appropriate. The placard is displayed in addition to other required placards, although duplicate poison-inhalation or poison-gas placards are unnecessary. The less-than-1,001-pound exception does not apply to this requirement.

Question 2

What does a plus sign (+) in Column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table indicate?

  1. A Use the listed proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group regardless of other hazard-class definitions
  2. B The shipping name applies only to international transportation
  3. C The shipping name applies only to domestic transportation
  4. D The entry is a generic shipping name requiring a technical name

Correct answer: A – Use the listed proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group regardless of other hazard-class definitions

A plus sign fixes the proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group for that table entry. Those entries are used without regard to whether the material meets that class, packing group, or another hazard-class definition. The Nevada manual presents the symbol with the same meaning in its discussion of the Hazardous Materials Table.

Question 3

Which hazard class uses transport indexes to control how much may be loaded together in one vehicle?

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

Correct answer: C – Class 7

Transport indexes are used with certain Class 7 radioactive-material packages. The number indicates the degree of control needed during transportation and helps determine package-separation and loading limits. Under the general vehicle limit, the combined transport index of the applicable packages may not exceed 50.

Question 4

Where must a hazardous material’s identification number appear for a packaged shipment?

  1. A On the emergency response guide and bill of lading only
  2. B On the tractor doors and trailer roof
  3. C On the shipping paper and the package
  4. D On the driver’s CDL and vehicle registration

Correct answer: C – On the shipping paper and the package

The identification number is part of the hazardous material’s description on the shipping paper and must also appear on the package as required. Cargo tanks and other bulk packages must display the identification number as well. Emergency responders use these numbers to identify regulated materials quickly.

Question 5

You used the engine to power a compressed-gas transfer pump. When should you shut the engine off after delivery?

  1. A Before the product transfer is finished
  2. B After disconnecting the transfer hose
  3. C After transfer is complete but before disconnecting the hose
  4. D Any time before leaving the delivery site

Correct answer: C – After transfer is complete but before disconnecting the hose

When the engine powers the transfer pump, the manual instructs you to shut it off after the product transfer and before unhooking the hose. All loading and unloading connections must be removed before coupling, uncoupling, or moving the cargo tank. An uncoupled trailer or semitrailer must also be secured against movement.

Question 6

In Column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table, what does the letter “I” identify?

  1. A A shipment of iodine
  2. B An entry subject to international restrictions
  3. C A proper shipping name appropriate for international transportation
  4. D An inflammable-material entry

Correct answer: C – A proper shipping name appropriate for international transportation

The letter I identifies a proper shipping name appropriate for describing a material in international transportation. When the shipment involves domestic transportation only, an alternate proper shipping name may be selected. The symbol does not identify iodine or a general category of international restrictions.
