Hazardous materials are substances or items that pose a significant risk to human health, property, or the environment due to their chemical, physical, or biological properties. These materials can include chemicals, biological agents, radioactive substances, and other items that are potentially dangerous during handling, storage, or transportation.

To ensure proper management and safety, hazardous materials are categorized into nine distinct classes of dangerous goods, each defined by specific characteristics such as flammability, toxicity, reactivity, or corrosiveness. This classification system helps guide the appropriate handling, packaging, labeling, and documentation required for the safe movement of these materials.

• Class 1 – Explosives
• Class 2 – Gases
• Class 3 – Flammable Liquids
• Class 4 – Flammable Solids
• Class 5 – Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
• Class 6 – Toxic and Infectious Substances
• Class 7 – Radioactive Materials
• Class 8 – Corrosives
• Class 9 – Miscellaneous Products, Substances or Organisms
