certain hazards can be determined by what?

6.1

When hazardous materials are being transported by air the shipping papers are located in the cockpit or flight deck.

An attack or hostile act is imminent or in progress.

They are odorless, so you don't know they are present.

The DOT hazard classification system can be used to identify acute hazards.

Emergency response planning is the planning of how to respond during emergencies like disasters. This is the making of the protocols and policies that are applicable for emergency response in hospitals or even in the field.

Items that have viruses or diseases on them or in them!

The DOT classification for Spontaneously Combustible material is Division 4.2

The first line of defense against hazardous materials is engineering controls to keep the hazardous material from getting where people are.

There are three, and only three, packing groups defined in the regulations for transportation of hazardous materials (dangerous goods).

Whether planned procedures work
The purpose of conducting a hazardous materials exercise is to practice your response to a hazardous materials event without having to deal with "real" hazardous materials. This is the equivalent in hazardous materials of maneuvers or war games in the military, or of fire drills in school.

Man-made hazards are those which are caused due to human activities.

DOT Division 2.2 is for nonflammable compressed gases.

A Technical Data Sheet may provide information on how well the product performs its function, how it is to be mixed, diluted, applied, etc. It may provide specific formulation information.

A Material Safety Data Sheet need not provide an exact formula, and will not address how well a product performs its function or how it is to be prepared for use. It will discuss what hazards are associated with use of the product, with a spill or fire, how to dispose of spilled material, what the results of toxicology tests have been, etc.

Personal Information Data sheets (PID's) are commonly used as reference material by organizations and businesses to gather and store contact information for emrgency situations, mailings, billing and things of that nature. Some are quite basic wherein the information asked for is simply your name, address and phone number, whereas others are more complex, such as those used at hospitals where they might ask for a brief medical history as well as your insurance company information.

Blood is hazardous because of bloodborne pathogens. A person can contract Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS from contact with blood through any mucous membrane such as their eyes, nose, mouth and broken skin. In doctors offices and hospitals blood is considered a biohazard. First responders such as police, paramedics and firemen are very careful when dealing with blood at a scene. Housekeeping personnel in some cases and even YOU can be in a situation where blood is a factor and should not be taken lightly. If you happen to be the first person on the scene of an accident where someone is bleeding and you choose to help them, call for help FIRST (police, paramedics, 911, etc.) then use clean rubber gloves if available to protect yourself. More information can be found by doing a web search for "bloodborne pathogens". You may even consider a Red Cross training course on CPR, first aid and bloodborne pathogens to learn more and make yourself prepared.

A hazardous material is a hazardous material because of its physical or chemical properties, not because of the amount that may be present. Smaller quantities, however, may be considered to be insignificant, but the amount depends on the particular material.
