What document may be found in the cab of a truck transporting hazardous materials?

The Dangerous Cargo Manifest is a crucial document found in the cab of a truck transporting hazardous materials. This manifest provides critical information about the hazardous materials being transported, including their classifications, quantities, and emergency contact information. It serves as a primary communication tool for emergency responders in the event of an accident or spill, allowing them to quickly understand the nature of the materials involved and the required response measures.

In contrast, incident reports are generated after an incident has occurred and are not typically carried on vehicles. Hazard sheets may refer to various documents but are not standardized for transport like the Dangerous Cargo Manifest. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide detailed information about specific hazardous substances, including handling and safety precautions, but they are not uniformly required to be stored in the truck's cab during transport. These latter documents may be available at the responsible company or facility but do not fulfill the same role as the manifest concerning transportation documentation.
