Hazards Labels for Radioactive Material are a shipper's declaration for dangerous goods and/or waybill required for radioactive consignments?

• A. Yes
• B. Only for Type A packages
• C. Only for Type B packages
• D. No

Answer: (A)

Hazard labels for radioactive material communicate the presence and nature of the hazard to everyone handling the package, and they are part of the documentation that accompanies a dangerous goods shipment. The shipper's declaration for dangerous goods and the waybill (where required) provide the formal description and regulatory details of the contents. The label itself isn’t the declaration, but it is essential information that accompanies the shipper’s declaration and/or waybill for radioactive consignments. In that sense, the labeling is part of the required documentation package, which makes this statement the best fit.
