Sample North Dakota HazMat Test Questions

Question 1

What do the letters “A” and “W” in Column 1 of the Hazardous Materials Table indicate?

  1. A. The material is unrestricted by air and water
  2. B. The material is prohibited from air and water transportation
  3. C. The material is regulated only during highway transportation
  4. D. The material is generally regulated only when offered for air transport (A) or water transport (W), subject to listed exceptions

Correct answer: D. – The material is generally regulated only when offered for air transport (A) or water transport (W), subject to listed exceptions

An “A” generally means the material is subject to the hazardous-materials regulations only when offered or intended for air transportation. A “W” generally applies only when it is offered or intended for transportation by water. Hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, and, for “W,” marine pollutants may be subject to additional treatment under the stated exceptions.

Question 2

After stopping safely, you discover that a hazardous-material package is leaking. What should you do?

  1. A. Carry the package away from the vehicle
  2. B. Try to seal or repack it yourself
  3. C. Continue to the nearest terminal
  4. D. Keep the vehicle stopped, keep people away, and call for emergency assistance

Correct answer: D. – Keep the vehicle stopped, keep people away, and call for emergency assistance

Do not touch or move a leaking hazardous-material package. Keep people away from the area and obtain emergency assistance using the shipping papers and emergency-response information. The vehicle should not be moved from the scene until the leaking material has been secured and the danger has been addressed by qualified personnel.

Question 3

When may a shipping paper use a hazard class or UN/NA identification number to describe non-hazardous cargo?

  1. A. When the cargo is a liquid
  2. B. When the cargo is transported with hazardous materials
  3. C. When the driver approves the description
  4. D. Never

Correct answer: D. – Never

A hazard class or identification number communicates that a material presents a regulated transportation hazard. It must not be used to describe non-hazardous cargo, even when that cargo shares a vehicle or shipping paper with hazardous materials. Mixed shipping papers must clearly distinguish hazardous entries from non-hazardous entries.

  2. B. EXPLOSIVES 1.1
  3. C. DANGEROUS
  4. D. Both EXPLOSIVES 1.1 and EXPLOSIVES 1.3

Correct answer: B. – EXPLOSIVES 1.1

When more than one Class 1 division placard would otherwise be required, only the placard representing the lowest division number must be displayed. Between Divisions 1.1 and 1.3, that is the EXPLOSIVES 1.1 placard. The DANGEROUS placard is not a substitute for these Table 1 explosive placards.

Specified knowing violations and willful or reckless violations of hazardous-materials transportation law can result in a criminal fine, imprisonment, or both. The general maximum imprisonment is five years. It can increase to ten years when the violation involves a hazardous-material release that causes death or bodily injury.

Question 6

A North Dakota CDL driver accepts a regulated hazardous-waste shipment. What must be done before transportation begins?

  1. A. Sign and date the acceptance and ensure the manifest accompanies the shipment
  2. B. Carry a manifest only if cargo is lost
  3. C. Replace the manifest with an ordinary bill of lading
  4. D. Leave every copy of the manifest with the generator

Correct answer: A. – Sign and date the acceptance and ensure the manifest accompanies the shipment

A transporter generally may not accept regulated hazardous waste without a properly completed manifest. Before transporting it, the transporter must sign and date the manifest and ensure it accompanies the waste. A compliant electronic manifest may satisfy these duties when it remains accessible, although highway shipping-paper requirements may require a printed copy in the vehicle.
