Unit VI

our company has been contracted to assess and cleanup a site that previously had a manufacturing facility for an

organochlorine pesticide (i.e., aldrin, chlordane, dieldrin, eldrin, or heptachlor). You are tasked with shipping these wastes

off-site to a treatment, storage, disposal facility (TSDF) for disposal.

Review the information found in the 16-point GHS SDS for at least two of the organochlorine pesticides detailed in this

question. Describe how you would prepare for transport of these materials and ensure proper shipping documentation

based on DOT regulations (hazard class, descriptions, labels, markings, and placards). Describe the importance of having

these regulations in place when transporting hazardous materials.

In the event that there is an emergency release of the material while being transported, describe the chemical properties,

uses, and ill effects that first responders may encounter upon arrival to the scene.
