DOT Hazardous Material Placards, Dangerous, For Mixed Loads
These 10.75" x 10.75" DANGEROUS hazardous materials placards meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) placard specifications for use when multiple hazardous materials requiring different placards are transported together. Featuring the standard red-and-white DANGEROUS placard design with red upper and lower sections, a white center band and black DANGEROUS designation, these placards are designed for use as an alternative to displaying separate DOT placards for certain mixed loads of hazardous materials.
DOT: DANGEROUS placard specified under 49 CFR §172.521. It may be used on a freight container, unit load device, transport vehicle or rail car containing non-bulk packages of two or more categories of hazardous materials that require different Table 2 placards, subject to applicable quantity and other restrictions.
TDG: The Canadian TDG Regulations provide for a similar DANGER placard under Section 4.16, but the Canadian placard uses the designation DANGER, not DANGEROUS. This DANGEROUS placard does not conform to the Canadian TDG DANGER placard design.
DOT/TDG: This product is DOT compliant only and is not represented as a Canadian TDG-compliant DANGER placard.
These placards are sold in packages of 25 or 100 only.
They are available in three different materials:
| Material | Features |
| Polycoated Tagboard | Made from a semi-rigid paper card stock with a water resistant coating on both sides. This material is intended for single trip usage, at an economical price. Intended for use with placard holders. |
| Rigid Plastic | Manufactured on durable plastic able to withstand repeated usage under any weather conditions. The ink is applied using a silk screen process to ensure print quality and resist fading. Intended for use with placard holders. |
| Permanent Self-Adhesive Vinyl | Intended for permanent application on the transport vehicle. They are constructed with an outdoor grade 4-mil vinyl with an aggressive permanent adhesive backing. Once applied, these placards provide a permanent DOT marking solution. |
Magnetic versions are also available by special order (please inquire).
TECHNICAL NOTE: The US Department of Transportation's DOT Chart 15, Hazardous Materials Markings, Labeling and Placarding Guide is a terrific full-color compliance guide for placarding and labeling and is available for download from their web site.
