Subsidiary Risk Labels for Secondary DOT Hazards

Subsidiary risk labels communicate an additional transportation hazard when a hazardous material has more than one regulated hazard. Stock subsidiary-risk options include hazards such as Corrosive, Flammable Liquid, Flammable Solid and Toxic. Select the exact label from the material's classified subsidiary hazard and the applicable transportation requirements.

Examples of Subsidiary Risk Labels

Stock examples are shown below. Use a subsidiary-risk label only when the material's transportation classification calls for that additional hazard.

Subsidiary Hazard Use
Corrosive For a classified corrosive subsidiary hazard.
Flammable Liquid For a classified flammable-liquid subsidiary hazard.
Flammable Solid For a classified flammable-solid subsidiary hazard.
Toxic For a classified toxic subsidiary hazard.

Primary Hazard and Subsidiary Risk Serve Different Roles

A hazardous material can have a primary hazard class and one or more subsidiary hazards. The primary label identifies the principal transportation hazard; a subsidiary-risk label communicates an additional hazard when the Hazardous Materials Regulations require it.

Do not add a subsidiary-risk diamond simply because a product seems corrosive, toxic or flammable. The material must first be properly classified, and the required primary and subsidiary labels come from that classification and the applicable transportation rules.

If you need the primary hazard diamond rather than a secondary-hazard label, compare DOT Hazard Labels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a subsidiary risk label?

It identifies an additional regulated transportation hazard beyond the material's primary hazard.

What kinds of subsidiary-risk labels may be needed?

Examples include Corrosive, Flammable Liquid, Flammable Solid and Toxic; the required label depends on the material's classified subsidiary hazard.

Are these the same as the primary DOT hazard label?

They may use the same hazard symbol or wording, but their role on the package is different: they communicate an additional hazard identified by the shipment's classification.

Does adding a subsidiary label make a hazmat shipment compliant?

No. Classification, packaging, markings, primary labels, documentation, training and mode-specific requirements may also apply.
