How are hazardous materials listed in the HMR?

Hazardous materials are comprehensively listed in the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) as part of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). This table serves as a critical resource for shippers and transporters by providing detailed information about each hazardous material, including its proper shipping name, hazard class, identification number, packing group, and specific shipping requirements.

The inclusion of these details ensures that all parties involved in the transportation of hazardous materials are fully informed about the necessary precautions, handling instructions, and regulatory requirements. This makes option A the most accurate representation of how hazardous materials are listed within the HMR.

The other options do not encapsulate the structured and informative nature of the HMT. An alphabetical index without details would not provide the essential safety and regulatory information necessary for compliance. Separate shipping guides by transportation mode could lead to inconsistencies and confusion about the regulations governing hazardous materials. Similarly, a pamphlet provided with shipping documents would lack the comprehensive data needed for safe handling and would not serve as a reliable reference for all hazardous materials.
