Question:
The shipper uses a shipping paper and diamond-shaped hazard labels to warn dockworkers and drivers of the risk. Shipping orders, bills of lading, and manifests are all examples of shipping papers. A shipping paper describes the HazMat being transported. Shippers put diamond-shaped hazard warning labels on most HazMat packages. These labels inform others of the hazard. If the diamond label will not fit on the package, shippers put the label on a tag securely attached to the package. For example, compressed gas cylinders that will not hold a label will have tags or decals. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
