Which statement is NOT true regarding shipping papers?

The correct answer indicates that it is not true that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must accompany shipping papers. While MSDS sheets, now commonly referred to as Safety Data Sheets (SDS), contain important safety information about hazardous materials, they are not considered a mandatory component to accompany shipping papers during transport.

Shipping papers are critical documents required for the transportation of hazardous materials and ensure compliance with regulations by providing details about the materials being transported, including identification, quantity, and emergency contact information. Safety Data Sheets can be important for ensuring safety during handling and emergencies, but they do not need to be physically included in the transport documentation package to satisfy legal shipping requirements.

In the context of the other statements, it is true that shipping papers require the driver's signature for accountability, must include emergency contact information for immediate access in case of an incident, and must list every item being transported to provide complete transparency about the cargo.
