Abstract:

This study has examined the risk of spills of hazardous ; substances from transport containers which are unmarked. Three ; circumstances could lead to incidents where a reportable quantity ; of a hazardous substance spills from unmarked containers. First, ; the incident could involve multiple spi lls from packages too ; small to require marking. Second, the incident could involve a ; very large spill of a mixture or solution which was too dilute to ; require marking. Finally, the transport container could be ; unmarked because it was not in compliance with Federal ; Regulations. The study findings in each of these circumstances ; are summarized below.
