What is an example of a hazard classified under Hazard Class 1.4?

Ammunition
Dynamite
Fireworks
Blasting agents

The correct answer is: Ammunition

Hazard Class 1.4 includes materials that present a low risk during transport or minor explosive hazards. These materials can have some risk but are generally safe under normal conditions. Ammunition is classified under this category because it is designed to be non-explosive in terms of transportation, presenting a reduced hazard. While it still involves an explosive function, the risks associated with it during everyday transport are significantly lower compared to other classes, making it suitable for this classification. In contrast, the other options represent higher-risk materials. Dynamite is classified as a more hazardous explosive material (commonly under class 1.1 or 1.2) because it can cause mass destruction and has a higher rate of energy release. Fireworks, often classified under 1.3, are also associated with greater risks during transport due to their potential to create significant hazards. Blasting agents, while used in demolition and mining, are usually categorized under 1.5 due to their broader explosive capability and associated risks.
