What information does the Shipping Paper provide aside from materials description?

The Shipping Paper is a crucial document in the transportation of hazardous materials, as it serves multiple purposes related to safety and compliance. One key piece of information included is emergency contact information. This is essential for first responders in case of an incident or spill involving the hazardous materials being transported. Having reliable emergency contact information ensures that emergency personnel can quickly reach the right individuals who are familiar with the materials and can provide necessary guidance or assistance during an emergency situation.

While technical specifications of the materials, a driver's personal identification, and transporter's insurance details may be important in their contexts, they do not have the same critical emphasis on immediate safety response as emergency contact information does in hazardous materials transport. The inclusion of emergency contact information directly supports regulatory compliance and enhances the overall safety of transporting hazardous materials, emphasizing its importance on the Shipping Paper.
