Hazardous materials or hazmat shipping pertains to transporting items classified as potentially hazardous or dangerous due to their chemical, physical, or biological properties. These items necessitate specialized handling and compliance with stringent regulations for safe transport. Some items requiring hazmat shipping include:
Chemicals: Various industrial chemicals, corrosives, solvents, and cleaning agents fall under hazardous materials due to their potential to cause damage.
Batteries: Lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, and other battery types that are classified as hazardous due to their potential for chemical reactions or leaks.
Infectious Substances: Biological materials, including infectious samples or medical waste, require hazmat handling due to their potential health risks.
Explosives: Flammable or explosive materials like fireworks, ammunition, and certain chemicals used in industrial processes fall under hazmat classifications.
Gases: Compressed gases, such as propane, butane, and other industrial gases, require special precautions during transport.
