Sample New Hampshire HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

What shape is required for most hazardous-material package labels?

  1. A The shape varies with the package
  2. B Triangle
  3. C Diamond, or square-on-point
  4. D Oval

Correct answer: C – Diamond, or square-on-point

Hazard warning labels on most hazardous-material packages are square-on-point, commonly described as diamond-shaped. Their colors, symbols, and wording identify the applicable hazard. The label’s standardized shape helps drivers, handlers, and emergency responders recognize hazardous-material packages quickly.

Question 2

In New Hampshire, who is responsible for determining a hazardous material’s proper shipping name, identification number, hazard class, and packing group before offering it for transportation?

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

Correct answer: C – The shipper

The shipper uses the hazardous-materials regulations to classify and describe the product correctly. The shipper also selects authorized packaging, applies required markings and labels, prepares shipping papers, and supplies placards when required. The carrier and driver must check the shipment, but they do not replace the shipper’s initial responsibility for its classification and preparation.

Question 3

Packages bear Division 2.3 Poison Gas, Hazard Zone A, and Division 2.1 Flammable Gas labels. How may they be loaded?

  1. A Together if both hazard placards are displayed
  2. B Together if a DANGEROUS placard is also displayed
  3. C In the same vehicle if separated by nonhazardous cargo
  4. D They may not be loaded in the same transport vehicle

Correct answer: D – They may not be loaded in the same transport vehicle

The federal segregation table places an “X” between Division 2.1 Flammable Gas and Division 2.3 Poison Gas, Hazard Zone A. An “X” prohibits loading, transporting, or storing the two materials together in the same transport vehicle during transportation. Placards or ordinary separation inside the vehicle do not remove that prohibition.

Question 4

What does an “I” in Column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table indicate?

  1. A The material contains iodine
  2. B The entry is prohibited in international transportation
  3. C The listed proper shipping name is used for international transportation
  4. D The material is classified as inflammable

Correct answer: C – The listed proper shipping name is used for international transportation

The symbol “I” identifies a proper shipping name used to describe a material in international transportation. A different proper shipping name may be authorized when the material is transported only within the United States. The symbol concerns the use of the table entry, not the chemical content or hazard class of the material.

Question 5

What does a “D” in Column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table mean?

  1. A The listed name may not be used for domestic transportation
  2. B The listed proper shipping name is appropriate for domestic transportation
  3. C The entry in Column 2 is always a generic shipping name
  4. D The material is regulated only when transported by water

Correct answer: B – The listed proper shipping name is appropriate for domestic transportation

A “D” identifies a proper shipping name that is appropriate for describing the material in domestic transportation. That name may not be appropriate for international transportation. The symbol provides instructions for using the table entry; it does not identify the material as a generic substance or as water-only cargo.

Question 6

What does a shipper’s certification confirm?

  1. A The shipping paper also serves as a purchase order
  2. B The shipper holds a license for every listed commodity
  3. C The shipment has been prepared in accordance with applicable hazardous-materials rules
  4. D The hazardous-material entry must be printed in Roman type

Correct answer: C – The shipment has been prepared in accordance with applicable hazardous-materials rules

A shipper’s certification states that the material is properly classified, described, packaged, marked, and labeled and is in proper condition for transportation under the applicable regulations. The certification is generally signed on the shipping paper. It is not a shipping order, operating license, or typeface designation.
