Driver (CDL) - Placarding
To aid emergency response teams, DOT developed a system of placarding for the rapid identification of hazardous materials. Emergency responders are trained to look for these warning placards. Improperly placarded or unplacarded HAZMAT shipments place the lives of these individuals and others at risk.
The general rule to apply when determining the placarding requirements is if a hazardous material is contained within a transport vehicle, bulk packaging, or unit load device, then a placard representing the hazard class for the hazardous material must be displayed on both sides and each end, regardless of quantity.
Placarding is a joint responsibility between the shipper and the carrier to make sure that the correct placard has been offered or affixed.
