transportation of hazardous materials in the United States. There are three main compliance
considerations that WasteXpress provides for your business.
• Classification and the Hazardous Materials Table;
Proper hazardous waste classification and shipping names are key to safety and
compliance as emergency responders will use this information to combat any spills,
leaks or exposure. Based on the waste profile the proper shipping name must be listed
correctly on any and all hazardous waste prior to shipment (example: Flammable Liquid,
Corrosive, n.o.s. (Contains Methanol, Potassium Hydroxide) 3, UN 2924, PG II).
• Shipping Papers;
DOT defines the term “Shipping Paper” as a “shipping order, bill of lading, manifest, or
other shipping document serving a similar purpose” and containing the information and
requirements specified by the 49 CFR sec 172.202, 172.203, 172.304.
• Marking and Labeling;
“Marking” as used in the Hazardous Materials Regulations, means the required
information on outer packaging of hazardous materials. This includes a descriptive name,
identification number, package specifications or UN marks plus any required instructions
and / or cautions.
