Which label denotes handling requirements for dangerous goods that may require special handling?

• A. Hazard labels
• B. Cargo labels
• C. Handling labels
• D. Magnetized Material

Answer: (C)

Labels communicating how dangerous goods must be treated focus on the handling needs. Hazard labels show the type of danger, telling you what hazard class the item belongs to. Cargo labels provide information about the shipment category. Handling labels, on the other hand, signal any special handling requirements that must be followed during transport, loading, unloading, and stowage—things like “Keep upright,” “Handle with care,” or other specific instructions. Magnetized Material is a particular case that requires special handling, but the general label used to indicate these needs is a Handling label.
