Small Talk Episode #1: Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazmat
In this episode of FPN Small Talk, we explain why fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous materials during transportation. Despite their life-saving role, they pose risks due to potentially irritating chemicals and pressurized cylinders. While some qualify for "Limited Quantity" easing regulations, they remain hazardous. We highlight the importance of labeling, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and adherence to DOT and OSHA regulations for safe handling and transport.
