DOT Hazardous Materials Labels
These labels are adhesive signs affixed to packages or
packagings of hazardous materials offered for transport. They
communicate information about the hazards of chemicals found
inside a package or of special handling requirements for the
package. Hazard class and handling labels must be a specific
size, shape, and color. They must also use symbols to
communicate hazards. Shippers of hazardous materials are
required to use labels meeting
all design and durability specifications
outlined in the regulations.
Labels help you meet the requirements in
49CFR for P.O.P. ("Performance Oriented Packaging") labeling
of hazardous material shipments. This labeling must be
retained on the packaging until it is sufficiently cleaned
of residue and purged of vapors.
