Postal Explorer > Publication 52 - Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail > 2 General Guidelines > 23 Handling Hazardous Materials
A potentially dangerous situation exists whenever hazardous materials,
restricted matter, or perishable matter is being moved from one place to
another. Careless handling can result in serious injury to the general public
and Postal Service personnel, damage to other mail and Postal Service
equipment, and delays in processing and delivery of mail.
The Postal Operations Manual (POM) and MI DM-601-05-1, Hazardous
Materials Acceptance and Handling, provide additional instructions for
handling hazardous materials in the mail.
