Who is responsible for making sure that the hazardous materials are labeled properly?

Ultimately, responsibility rests with the shipper. As part of the shipper's review, the shipper needs to follow these rules:
  • Make sure that the material is not forbidden for shipping.
  • Classify the material by Hazard Class.
  • For materials with more than one hazard, select the primary and subsidiary hazards.
  • Choose the "Not Otherwise Specified" (or "N.O.S.") shipping name which best characterizes the material. Examples of N.O.S. names are the generic chemical name (such as "Alcohols, toxic"), the generic use of the chemical (such as "Refrigerant Gas") or the a description of the generic hazards of the material (such as "Flammable Liquid").
