Package Labels —
Shippers put diamond-shaped hazard warning labels on most hazardous materials packages (see Figure 9-2 on page 89). These labels inform others of the hazard class of product found in the packages. If the diamond label will not fit on the package, shippers may put the label on a tag securely attached to the package. For example, compressed gas cylinders that will not hold a label will have tags or decals.
