Where should the Lithium Battery Handling Label be applied?

• A. On the driver's clipboard.
• B. On packages that contain lithium batteries.
• C. On the shipping manifest.
• D. On the pallet labels only.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the Lithium Battery Handling Label is a warning for the package itself, signaling to handlers that the contents are lithium batteries and that special handling and regulatory requirements apply. Because this label communicates hazard and handling needs to people handling the shipment, it belongs on the outside of the package that contains the lithium batteries, so every such package is clearly identified during all stages of transport. It should be placed where it’s clearly visible (often alongside the shipping label) and applied to each package that contains lithium batteries. It should not go on a driver’s clipboard, the shipping manifest, or only on pallet labels, since those places don’t convey the hazard information to the people physically handling the individual packages.
