Transporation Information
The shipping of hazardous materials is regulated by the Department of Transporation (DOT). This section provides the important DOT shipping name, ID (UN or NA numbers), hazard class, and labels required to be on the container.
This section is valuable if the hazardous material will be shipped from this campus. Before shipping, the carton must be properly labelled with the appropriate placards and ID names and numbers. If an accident occurred while shipping, these numbers can be referenced by hazmat personnel doing the clean up.
The transportation section of Methylene chloride MSDS and Bromine MSDS list the various labels and ID numbers necessary before these two hazardous chemicals can be shipped within the U.S. and/or internationally. Note that bromine is forbidden to be shipped by passenger aircraft or railcar. Cargo aircraft can carry the quantity of 2.5 liters.
