Hazardous Cargo Class 7 corresponds to which hazard?

Hazardous Cargo Class 7 corresponds to which hazard?

• A. Radioactive
• B. Gases
• C. Explosives
• D. Oxidizers

Answer: (A)

Radioactive materials are what Class 7 covers. They emit ionizing radiation, creating external exposure and contamination risks, so their transport requires strict controls such as specialized containment packaging, proper labeling with the radioactive trefoil symbol, and thorough documentation and training. These requirements are distinct from other hazards, which belong to different classes: gases (Class 2), explosives (Class 1), and oxidizers (Class 5.1).
