Exercise

Question :

What does the labeling look like for a container loaded with the goods shown below?

The toxic symbol (with skull) shall always be applied outside on the container because oecologically toxic substances are to be transported. The container labeling must show the same Dangerous Goods class and UN Number as the labeling on the packaging within the container. In addition to hazard class and UN Number the marine pollutant mark has to be applied since liquid concentration is higher than 35% and it is classified as oecologically toxic.

Exercise

Question :

This drum is damaged, but what else is wrong here?

The state of this drum was bad when it was turned over to us. We do not have time to exchange this drum for a new one prior to shipping. Aging and rusting of drums are effects of contact with salt water. They are normal processes and nothing to worry about. A UN-approved drum is in use here, but not one that is acid-resistant.
