What information is NOT provided by the Joint Hazard Classification System (JHCS)?

Shipping company
Potential safety hazards
Storage regulations
Material safety data

The correct answer is: Shipping company

The Joint Hazard Classification System (JHCS) is designed to provide critical safety information regarding hazardous materials, particularly those related to munitions. While the JHCS includes various elements crucial for ensuring safe handling and management of such materials, it does not provide details about the shipping company responsible for the transportation of these materials. The focus of the JHCS is primarily on the classification and hazards associated with the materials themselves rather than on logistical companies involved in shipping. The information supplied by the JHCS typically includes potential safety hazards, which outline the risks associated with handling or being in proximity to these materials. It also typically features storage regulations that guide how these materials should be securely stored to mitigate the risk of accidents. Additionally, material safety data sheets (MSDS) offer detailed information about the properties of the materials, such as toxicity and first-aid measures. All of these elements are crucial to ensuring safety in the handling and storage of hazardous materials, but specifics about the shipping entities are not encompassed within JHCS.
