Hazmat stands for hazardous materials — substances that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment. Special regulations apply to the packaging, labeling, documentation, and transport of hazmat shipments to ensure public and environmental protection.
Transporting industrial chemicals in barrels classified under the DOT’s hazardous materials guidelines requires hazmat-certified drivers and vehicles equipped with proper signage and containment measures.
