Slide 1: Each label has a specific standardized symbol and is attached to the outside of

the package. The label can be one of the two following kinds. A hazard label or a
handling label. Hazard labels will show the nature of the risk of the goods inside the
package by symbols. Text on labels are optional except for radioactive material and the
Class nine lithium battery label. Handling labels will show how the goods must be
handled during loading and transport.
Slide 2: Hazard labels are designed to provide a visual warning on packages
containing dangerous goods and the nature of the risks involved. Hazard labels are
square and placed diagonally so that the corners point upwards, downwards and to the
sides. The size must be at least ten by ten centimetres, with few exceptions. Two such
exceptions are a transport of cylinders containing class two gases due to the form and
incline of the cylinder and B transport of infectious substances. Division 6.2 where
packages are small.
Slide 3: For dangerous goods, cargo in class one explosives. There are several hazard
labels depending on the division and compatibility group. The compatibility group is a
single letter in the bottom corner of the label and is used for packaging and loading
purposes. All class one hazard labels must have the class number one inscribed in the
bottom corner.
Slide 4: Dangerous goods in class two gases has three divisions, and each division has
a specific label, all inscribed with the class number two in the bottom corner.
Division 2.1 Flammable Gas. Division 2.2. Non-flammable. Non-toxic Gas. Division 2.3.
Toxic Gas.
Slide 5: Class three flammable liquid. The class number three must be inscribed in the
bottom corner.
Slide 6: In class four Flammable solids. There are three divisions and three different
hazard labels. All three labels must have the class number four inscribed in the bottom
corner. Division 4.1 Flammable Solids Self-reactive Substances. Polymerizing
Substances and solid Desensitized Explosives. Division 4.2 Substances Liable to
Spontaneous Combustion. Division 4.3 substances which in contact with water emit
flammable gases.
Slide 7: In Class five Oxidizing Substances and Organic peroxides. There are two
divisions. These are the only hazard labels that are required to have the division
inscribed in the bottom corner of the label. Division 5.1 Oxidizing Substances. Division
5.2. Organic Peroxide.
Slide 8: Class six Toxic and infectious substances have two different hazard labels.
Both must have the class number six inscribed in the bottom corner. Division 6.1
Toxic Substances. Division 6.2. Infectious Substances.
Slide 9: Radioactive material in class seven have three different hazard labels
depending on the radiation level coming from the package. These are not divisions, but
categories. The labels must have the class number seven inscribed in the bottom
corner. Category one White. Category two. Yellow. Category three. Yellow.
Slide 10: There is only one hazard label for class eight Corrosives. The label must have
the class number eight inscribed in the bottom corner. Class eight Corrosives.
Slide 11: In Class nine Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles including
environmentally hazardous substances. There are two different hazard labels. The first
one is used for all class nine items except for lithium batteries. The second one with the
picture of batteries is only used for the shipment of lithium batteries. Class nine
Miscellaneous. Dangerous Goods. Class nine Lithium Batteries.
Slide 12: Handling labels specify any special precautions to be taken during handling
and loading of certain packages. Due to the nature of the package and or goods, it
could be that a specific package must be protected from direct sunlight and heat or
placed with a certain side up. Handling labels may sometimes be found on packages
containing a non restricted article. This way up orientation labels are often pre-printed
on packages and are okay if no indication of dangerous goods is present.
Slide 13: The following Handling labels are used for air transport package orientation or
pre-printed arrows, for example, on combination packaging and over packs containing
dangerous goods in liquid form. When the package orientation this way up label is
affixed to a package or over pack. The words this end up or this side up may be marked
on the top of the package or over pack. The label must be affixed on two opposite sides
of the package. Magnetized material should be used for packages containing magnetic
items or materials. These may not be placed close to aircraft instrumentation. Cargo
aircraft only must be used for packages that only are permitted for carriage on cargo
aircraft. Cryogenic liquid indicates a risk of gas leakage from the container, and that this
gas in cold spaces can condense into something similar to smoke. Live animals should
never be stowed together with cryogenic liquids. Keep away from heat is used for
certain substances that are sensitive to heat. The radioactive material accepted
package label is to be used for radioactive shipments emitting, for example, low
radioactivity.
Slide 14: Packages containing lithium batteries that meet the requirements of section
two of packing instructions. 966967, 969 and 970. And Section one B of packing
instructions. Nine, six five and 968. Must be marked with the lithium battery mark.
Normally with minimum dimensions of 100mm by 100mm. The packing instructions are
found in the yellow pages in the regulations and must be used and followed for the
correct packing of dangerous goods.
Slide 15: Package markings are shown on packages beside the hazard and handling
labels. With some exceptions, all dangerous goods packages sent as cargo must
show proper shipping name. Un or ID number. Shippers and Consignees Full
addresses.
Some packaging will have a specification marking that signifies that the packaging
is successfully tested for transport.
Slide 16: Should a passenger attempt to check in or enter an aircraft with a package
marked and or labeled in a way that might cause suspicion that it contains dangerous
goods? The package must be examined before the passenger is allowed to proceed. A
passenger shipper or a courier could sometimes approach an airline to carry a
package of dangerous goods. Such goods must be refused. If the package does not
contain dangerous goods, the passenger must be informed that the markings and or
labels must be removed from the package before it is accepted on board. If the
package contains dangerous goods, it must be handled according to the normal
regulations and the passenger is not allowed to take it on board.
Slide 17: Dangerous goods in accepted quantities are goods which are packaged in
very small quantities and are therefore accepted from many of the normal requirements
in the regulations. The goods must be marked with a special package mark with red
hatching for easy recognition. Despite that, there is no requirement for documentation or
notification to the captain. Dangerous goods in accepted quantities may not be
transported by a no carry operator, but refused and sent back.
Slide 18: Packages sent as limited quantity must bear the special marking beside all
normal markings. The limited quantity marking may include the letter Y, or it could be
without the letter Y. The marking with the letter Y is intended for air transport of limited
quantities, and the one without the Y is intended for road transport. Both can be used
for transport of limited quantities by air or road, as long as all other requirements are
fulfilled. Any package with the limited quantity marking must be refused and sent back.
