What Are Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials?

The terms "dangerous goods" and "hazardous materials" are often used interchangeably within the regulations, though they also have separate but similar definitions.

  • Dangerous goods are substances or articles that pose a risk to people, property, or the environment because of their chemical or physical properties when transported.
  • Hazardous materials are substances that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment.
