Fixed buildings use the "fire diamond" which gives general information about hazards present (although it does not identify the chemical/s present)

Do you prefer traveling by plane, train, car, bus, or ship?
Mobile tankers (railcars, trucks, trailers, etc) use placards governed by the Department of Transportation. They not only identify any special hazards, but they also contain a 4-digit number that corresponds to the type of chemical being transported. These codes are contained in the Emergency Response Guidebook which is carried by police and fire personnel. A copy of this guidebook is located here:

They refer to the hazards they present if they crash and spill there load all over the road.

Here you go........When you hear a fire engine sirine or a cop car, do you move over to the right or left?
It doesn't technically identify the chemical or a hazardous material, it actually identifies the type of substance that is being transported I.E. Liquid, flammable liquid, freezing substance, explosive compound, corrosive compound, nuclear material, different types of gases, radio active etc. ANY liquid, gas or hazardous material being transported MUST be placarded before departure from a dock. No placards means that it is only normal freight goods I.E. paper, chairs, signs, computers, candy, tires etc. being transported. This is mandated by state and I believe federal laws to make public notice of transferring these compounds / substances.As others have said they are there to assist the emergency services to identify the hazardous substance carried by a vehicle if involved in an accident.
They are reffered to as Hazchem signs and are internationally recognised. The list of their meanings can be found on http://www.the-ncec.com/hazchem/...
