What is a hazardous material?
Welcome back to Hazmat Shipping Essentials. If you’ve wondered lately “hey, is this stuff hazmat?”-then this video is for you! Get to know the 9 categories of hazardous materials recognized around the world, and why each class if regulated in transportation.
Assigning your material to correct hazard class or division is a crucial early step in the shipping process, one that will guide every decision you make until the shipment leaves your site-from how you name and describe your material to the packaging required, the labels you use, the modes of transportation available to you, and so on. No one may ship hazmat unless they comply with all applicable regulations, and compliance starts with an accurate classification.
All 9 Hazard Classes Explained:
1:17 Hazard Class 1 - Explosives
2:07 Hazard Class 2 - Gases
2:36 Hazard Class 3 - Flammable Liquids
3:02 Hazard Class 4 - Flammable Solids
3:40 Hazard Class 5 - Oxidizers and Organic Peroxides
4:43 Hazard Class 6 - Poisons and Infectious Substances
5:15 Hazard Class 7 - Radioactives
5:30 Hazard Class 8 - Corrosives
5:46 Hazard Class 9 - Miscellaneous
Hazmat training is the first step for new shippers. Hazmat training is required by law for anyone who does a job like identifying a hazardous material, assigning a hazard class, choosing packaging, packing a box, filling a container, affixing labels, loading a vehicle, or any other task that "affects the safety of the shipment in transportation."
The US Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) refer to these workers as “hazmat employees" and requires them to be trained within 90 days of hire date or job assignment. Comprehensive hazmat re-training or "recurrent" hazmat training is required every 3 years, at a minimum. See 49 CFR 172.704.

That was really useful ,and the presenter has a good manner and just a touch of dry humour in how he does it which makes staying focussed much easier.

This presentation is on point! I like the way he presents it with a bit of comic comments, which in my opinion, makes listening and understanding the subject more interesting..Thank you!
