Shipping Papers
The shipment must be accompanied by shipping papers which
include:
Name of Shipper
RQ, Description
Contents and activity in Becquerel (in parentheses)
Label Category
Transport Index
Package Type
Certification/Signature:
This is not required for a private carrier if the shipment is
not to be transferred to another party. It is easiest to
include it, just in case.
Emergency Contact:
The shipper must provide the telephone number which
must be monitored at all times the shipment is in transit
and answerable by a person knowledgeable of the
hazardous material being shipped and has
comprehensive emergency response information, or has
immediate access to a person with such knowledge.
For normal daytime work, this can be the organization’s
phone number with instructions to notify the RSO. When
returning a gauge from service or calibration, service
centers will normally supply a 24 hour number.
