Which column lists the hazard label(s) that must be applied to the outside of each package?

• A. Column A - UN or ID Number
• B. Column B - Proper Shipping Name/Description
• C. Column E - Packing Group
• D. Column D - Labels

Answer: (D)

Hazard communication on the outside of a package is conveyed through the actual hazard labels that must be affixed. The column that lists these is the one labeled Labels, because it specifies the exact hazard symbols that need to appear on the package’s exterior. UN numbers identify what the substance is, the Proper Shipping Name/Description gives its official name, and the Packing Group indicates the relative danger level; none of these alone dictate the specific label symbols to place on the package. In practice, a shipment can require multiple labels if there are several hazards, and those required symbols are detailed in the Labels column.
