Labelmaster's Compliance Task Advisor™ gathers regulatory links and supplemental information and organized them into job oriented compliance tasks, i.e. if you need training information simply click on training under the task tab. A complete list of links to training regulations, faqs and other training information is provided. Simply click another task to get detailed information on that task.

Here is a list of the current task we have documented. We continually update the task list to make sure that you are provided with the latest documents – new tasks and updated data are added regularly.

• Explosives – An explosive means any substance or article, including a device, which is designed to function by explosion (i.e., an extremely rapid release of gas and heat) or which, by chemical reaction within itself, is able to function in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosionExplosive. For the purpose of this subchapter, an explosive means any substance or article, including a device, which is designed to function by explosion (i.e., an extremely rapid release of gas and heat) or which, by chemical reaction within itself, is able to function in a similar manner even if not designed to function by explosion, unless the substance or article is otherwise classed under the provision of subchapter 173.50. Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions 1.1-1.6.

• Hazardous Waste – Hazardous Waste means any material that is subject to the Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency specified in 40 CFR part 262, which appears as follows: "A person who generates a solid waste, as defined in 40 CFR 261.2, must determine if that waste is a hazardous waste using the following method: "(a) He should first determine if the waste is excluded from regulation under 40 CFR 261.4. (b) He must then determine if the waste is listed as a hazardous waste in subpart D of 40 CFR part 261."

• Labeling – Have a labeling question? Click the Labeling task and link directly to CFR 49 Sections 172.400–172.450 and other regulations concerning labels and labeling, images of labels. Each person who offers for transportation or transports a hazardous material in any of the packages or containment devices as described in CFR 49 Part 172 Subpart E shall label the package or containment device with labels specified for the material in the §172.101 Table and in CFR 49 Part 172 Subpart E.

• Marking – Marking requirements for CFR 49 appear in sections 300-338. Marking is defined in CFR 49 Section 172.300: "(a) Each person who offers a hazardous material for transportation shall mark each package, freight container, and transport vehicle containing the hazardous material in the manner required by this subpart. (b) When assigned the function by this subpart, each carrier that transports a hazardous material shall mark each package, freight container, and transport vehicle containing the hazardous material in the manner required by this subpart."

• Penalties – For an alleged violation that does not have a direct or substantial impact on safety, the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety may issue a ticket. The Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety issues a ticket by mailing it by certified or registered mail to the person alleged to have committed the violation. The ticket includes:
  1. A statement of the facts on which the Associate Administrator bases the conclusion that the person has committed the alleged violation;
  2. The maximum penalty provided for by statute, the proposed full penalty determined according to RSPA's civil penalty guidelines and the statutory criteria for penalty assessment, and the ticket penalty amount; and
  3. A statement that within 45 days of receipt of the ticket, the person must pay the penalty in accordance with paragraph (d) of this section, make an informal response under §107.317, or request a formal administrative hearing under §107.319.

• Placarding – Does your truck need placards? Go to the Placarding task and see links to placards and placarding requirements, regulations concerning placards and placarding, images of placards. Each person who offers for transportation or transports any hazardous material subject to Subchapter C shall comply with the applicable placarding requirements of this Subpart F.

• Radioactives – Radioactive material means any material having a specific activity greater than 70 Bq per gram (0.002 microcurie per gram). Specific activity of a radionuclide means the activity of the radionuclide per unit mass of that nuclide. The specific activity of a material in which the radionuclide is essentially uniformly distributed is the activity per unit mass of the material. The proper label to affix to a package of Class 7 (radioactive) material is based on the radiation level at the surface of the package and the transport index. The proper category of label must be determined in accordance with paragraph (c) of section 172.403. The label to be applied must be the highest category required for any of the two determining conditions for the package. RADIOACTIVE WHITE-I is the lowest category and RADIOACTIVE YELLOW-III is the highest. For example, a package with a transport index of 0.8 and a maximum surface radiation level of 0.6 millisievert (60 millirems) per hour must bear a RADIOACTIVE YELLOW-III label.
