Which labeling option may be provided by the transporter for bags or sharps containers?

• A. None
• B. Bar codes
• C. The generator's name and address
• D. 24-hour telephone number

Answer: (B)

Bar codes on bags or sharps containers enable efficient, accurate tracking during transport. A barcode provides a unique, machine-readable identifier that the transporter can attach to each shipment, linking it to the manifest, pickup records, and destination facility in a digital system. Scanning the barcode at every handoff reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and helps maintain an unbroken chain of custody from generator to disposal. While the label may also include generator details and contact information, the barcode specifically supports fast, reliable data capture and regulatory traceability, which is why it’s the labeling option a transporter may provide.
