Dry ice is classified as a hazardous material under Class 9 - Miscellaneous hazardous material. Asbestos is classified as a hazardous material under Class 9 - Miscellaneous hazardous material as well.
The reference tool you are referring to is called a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). It provides detailed information on the properties of hazardous chemicals, including their identification, physical and chemical characteristics, health effects, and safety precautions for handling and storage.
Information about the safe handling of hazardous materials can be found from many sources depending on the situation and type of hazardous material being handled. The first place to go is the Material Safety Data Sheet of the material. These can be obtained from the manufacturer of the product. You might also try contacting you local Health Department, the Environmental Protection Agency (RPA). Another good source is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Your local fire department might also have some information.
You can find specific guidance for the shipment of NWIRM (Non-Waste Raw Material) material from regulatory agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Additionally, consulting with industry-specific guidelines or training materials on hazardous material transportation may also provide detailed instructions for shipping NWIRM material.
Materials that are hazardous to health or the environment typically require a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), including chemicals, solvents, pesticides, and certain biological agents. These sheets provide important information on how to safely handle, store, and dispose of the material, as well as how to respond to emergencies related to the material.
Hazardous material ceases to be hazardous when it is destroyed, sufficiently diluted in nonhazardous material, it is chemically changed into a nonhazardous material or incorporated into an object that immobilizes it and renders it unable to be hazardous.
