Shipping Chemicals Supply and Materiel personnel are responsible for insuring that the packaging complies with the U.S. Department of Transportation requirements, and can only do so if they are supplied with the necessary information. Because of these special DOT requirements, all packages that contain chemicals are opened and repackaged at Building T-89. The MSDS must include a UN number. Be sure that every container in the package is sealed and labeled. The name on the label must match the MSDS and the Shipping Memo.
Labels are available in the stockroom.
Contents should not be loose, and equipment should be shipped separately from chemicals. Supply and Materiel will review the contents and repackage them for shipping to their final destination. BNL Home Page Corrine Messana maintains this document.
