What does the emergency response telephone number on the shipping paper provide?
- A.The driver's personal cell number
- B.A sales number for the shipper
- C.A number that is only answered on weekdays
- D.A monitored number, answered while the material is in transit, where detailed emergency information about the material can be obtained
Correct answer
D. A monitored number, answered while the material is in transit, where detailed emergency information about the material can be obtained
Why
The number must reach someone who knows the material or has immediate access to that knowledge for the entire trip. Responders rely on it for protective actions, so a number that rings an empty office does not satisfy the rule.
