Emergency contact information on the shipping document is required so that anyone handling or transporting the dangerous goods, and especially first responders, can quickly reach the person responsible for the shipment to obtain critical hazard information and guidance. Under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, this includes a 24-hour emergency phone number that can provide technical details about the material, its hazards, and the actions needed in an incident. This immediate access helps responders determine appropriate isolation, PPE, and first‑aid measures, reducing risk.

Other items listed aren’t part of the mandatory shipping document content for TDG—destination time window, weather forecast, and suggested retail price do not provide the hazard information needed for safe transport and response.
