![Page 14: Hazmat training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55635073d8b42a6f7b8b52c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
When is Placarding Required?
• Depends on TYPE and QUANTITY
• TABLE 1 requires placards in any amount– refer to page 37
• TABLE 2 (page 37-38) requires placards when amount exceeds 454 kilograms, or 1,001 lbs.....
![Page 15: Hazmat training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55635073d8b42a6f7b8b52c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1,000 Kilogram Rule
• If aggregate weight of all TABLE 2 materials exceeds 454 kg, but no one product exceeds 1,000 kg(2,205 lbs) a DANGEROUS placard can be used in lieu of the specific placards
• Remember these conversions– 1,000 kg = 2,205 lbs– 454 kg = 1,001 lbs
![Page 16: Hazmat training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55635073d8b42a6f7b8b52c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example Placard Problem
• Trailer contains the following HM:– 2,000 lbs Class 8 Corrosives– 600 lbs Class 5.1 Oxidizer– 1,010 lbs Class 2.1 Flammable Gas
• What placards would be required?
OR+ +
![Page 17: Hazmat training](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55635073d8b42a6f7b8b52c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example 2
• 3,000 lbs Class 8 Corrosive
• 600 lbs Class 5 Oxidizer
• 1,010 lbs Class 2.1 Flammable Gas
• What placards are required?– Either specific placards for each as before,
OR
+
