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.
