Identify the required shipping paper entries for hazardous materials (proper shipping name, hazard class, ID number, packing group, total quantity) and explain where each entry appears on a bill of lading.

Distinguish when the basic description is required versus when an emergency response telephone number or shipper certification must also appear.

Explain the shipper's responsibility for selecting packaging that meets the packing group and quantity limits for a given material.

Locate the Hazardous Materials Table columns used to determine the proper shipping name, class, ID number, packing group, and packaging exceptions for five common materials.

Apply shipping paper retention, emergency response information, and shipper certification requirements to three realistic load scenarios.

Compare non-bulk, bulk, and excepted packaging requirements and select the correct packaging section for five materials.

Explain how quantity limits, packing group, and special provisions affect the packaging choice.

Interpret shipping paper entries for a mixed load and identify any missing or inconsistent information.

State the general marking requirements for non-bulk packages, including proper shipping name, ID number, and orientation arrows.

Identify when the UN/NA ID number must appear on the package and when it may be shown on the shipping paper instead.

Explain the additional marking requirements for bulk packages and for packages containing limited quantities or excepted quantities.

Match common marking symbols and abbreviations to their meaning without relying on external references.

Differentiate marking from labeling and explain why a package may need one, both, or neither.

Explain label placement, visibility, and durability requirements for packages and overpacks.

Determine when a subsidiary label is required and when it may be omitted.

Explain the difference between a label and a placard and identify which hazard classes require placards.

Determine the correct placard for a material based on its hazard class and subsidiary hazard, including the use of DANGEROUS placards.

Explain placard placement, visibility, and the rules for placarding both sides of a vehicle.

Evaluate packaging requirements for materials in Packing Groups I, II, and III and identify when special packaging or performance testing is required.

Explain the meaning of UN packaging codes and how to read a UN specification mark on a package.

Determine when a package may be reused or reconditioned and what markings must be removed or changed.

Apply placarding and packaging rules together to a multi-material load and identify any compliance gaps.

Review all five domains using a single master checklist that connects shipping papers, marking, labeling, placarding, and packaging.

Complete a timed 50-question practice exam and record the score by domain.

Identify the two weakest domains from the practice exam and list the specific rules to review.

Re-explain the 1,001-pound rule, subsidiary label rules, and shipping paper basic description requirements from memory.

Review the error log and correct every missed item from week 7.

Complete a second timed 50-question practice exam and compare the domain scores to week 7.

Recite the required shipping paper entries, marking requirements, label classes, placarding thresholds, and packaging selection steps without notes.

Confirm readiness by scoring at least 85% on the final practice exam with no domain below 80%.
