Name one common type of packaging used for hazardous materials.

UN certified containers are specifically designed and tested to safely transport hazardous materials. These containers meet the standards set by the United Nations for the safe and secure packaging of dangerous goods. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand various conditions such as impact, pressure, and temperature changes, thereby preventing leaks and spills of hazardous materials during transport.

Using UN certified containers is critical for compliance with international regulations regarding the transport of hazardous materials. This ensures the safety of both the handlers and the environment. Other packaging types may not meet the stringent safety requirements needed for hazardous materials handling and transportation, potentially leading to severe safety risks and regulatory violations.
