Regulations for the transport of dangerous goods are constantly changing, and this evolving landscape is requiring more and more companies to review and update their employee training and shipping procedures. Labelmaster offers a comprehensive lineup of updated hazmat books designed to promote the safe and secure transport of dangerous goods.
Hazmat regulatory publications in print and digital formats available from Labelmaster include:
•AIR Shipper (now available)—Written from the shipper’s perspective, AIR Shipper, a Labelmaster exclusive publication, provides up-to-date information on international air regulations for shipments of dangerous goods.

It is aligned with UN recommendations for the international transport of dangerous goods and features the same chapter order as ICAO’s Technical Instructions, IMDG Code, and ADR to further facilitate shipping of dangerous goods by air.
•Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (now available)—This new edition covers adoption of new markings for organic peroxides, marine pollutants, and limited quantities as well as the addition of a definition for “overpack.” The publication is written for Canadian shippers and carriers as a quick reference to Transport Canada’s dangerous goods requirements.
