If a package has a class 3 Flammable-Liquid sticker, what is the required action?

When dealing with a package that has a class 3 Flammable-Liquid sticker, the appropriate action is to determine the presence of dangerous goods. This is crucial because class 3 flammable liquids present safety risks during transport, and regulations dictate that specific procedures must be followed to manage such materials.

By determining the presence of dangerous goods, you can ensure compliance with safety regulations and transportation guidelines. This includes examining packaging, labeling, and manifests to ensure that the goods can be handled safely and legally. If the assessment confirms the presence of dangerous goods, specific protocols for their handling, storage, and transportation must be followed to prevent accidents or incidents during shipping.

Other options may seem appealing, but they do not address the safety protocols required when handling potential hazardous materials. Accepting the package without verification may lead to dangerous situations, while returning it to the customer or removing the sticker fails to appropriately address the risks associated with transporting flammable substances. Identifying and confirming the classification as dangerous goods is the responsible and legally mandated action.
