Core concepts
Concept 1
Package type and category communicate containment and radiation-control requirements.
Exam cue: Read every package mark, label, category and index before stowage.
Concept 2
Transport index and criticality safety index affect separation, aggregation and stowage decisions.
Exam cue: Use current limits for aggregation and separation.
Concept 3
Class 7 security, high-consequence controls and specialist emergency and loading exercises are part of the approved course.
Exam cue: Isolate damaged packages and obtain radiation-specialist direction.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Guardrail: Do not treat an exemption, valid card, approved package or posted speed as permission to ignore the actual conditions and remaining duties.
Moving a damaged radioactive package to inspect it.
Guardrail: Do not treat an exemption, valid card, approved package or posted speed as permission to ignore the actual conditions and remaining duties.

Guardrail: Written revision does not replace the approved specialist emergency and loading exercises.
Memory anchors
Package Type Protects
Excepted, industrial, Type A, Type B and other package types have defined uses.
Category Communicates
White and yellow package categories convey handling and radiation information.
TI Controls Separation
Use the transport index in current stowage and separation calculations.
CSI Controls Criticality
Fissile-material aggregation uses the criticality safety index.
Damage Means Isolate
Keep clear, secure the area and obtain radiation-protection advice.
Practical Still Required
Class 7 emergency-action and vehicle-loading exercises need approved delivery.
Checkpoint rule
