Packaging

Why is it Important?

1) First Line of Defense

• To the handler

• To the carrier

• To the environment

2) Accidents in Transit

• Public safety

• Emergency response

3) Gets there in one piece!

Packaging Selection Steps

1. Identify the Hazardous Material

2. Determine the Packing Group (Column 5)

3. Understand Special Provisions (Column 7)

– You must always check!

4. Identify the Packaging Exceptions (Column 8A)

– Exceptions are relief from the more stringent packaging requirements

5. Determine Bulk or Non-Bulk (Column 8B or 8C)

– Look up the 173.*** for the approved packaging

6. Understand Packaging ID Codes

Bulk vs. Non-Bulk

BulkLiquid

(>119 gal)

Solid (>882 lbs and capacity > 119 gal)

Gas (Water capacity > 1000 lbs)

Non-BulkLiquid

(≤119 gal)

Solid (≤ 882 lbs and capacity ≤ 119 gal)

Gas (Water capacity ≤ 1000 lbs)

Salvage Drums

Used when packages of hazardous materials are damaged,

defective or found leaking.

Must have sufficient cushioning and absorbent to prevent

excessive movement and eliminate any free liquid at time

drum is closed.

Marking Placement

Steel open and closed head drums MUST be marked with the

UN number permanently embossed on the bottom.

Plastic drums MUST be UN marked (embossed) on the side or

the bottom. If labels are also used they must be durable.
