True or False: TDG legislation sets rules for the transport of laboratory specimens.

The statement is true because the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) legislation governs the transport of materials that may pose risks to public safety, including laboratory specimens that are classified as dangerous goods. This legislation ensures that all necessary precautions are taken to safeguard both the personnel involved in the transportation process and the general public.

Laboratory specimens can fall into various categories, some of which may involve hazardous materials such as infectious substances or chemical agents. Therefore, the legislation provides specific guidelines on how to identify, package, label, and handle these specimens to minimize risks during transport.

In this context, saying that TDG applies exclusively to hazardous materials would not encompass all scenarios, as it may also address the safe transport of other laboratory specimens, depending on their classification. Additionally, while the legislation is relevant for various types of specimens, it does not universally apply to all test types without considering their potential risks.

Thus, the correct response reflects the broad authority of TDG legislation in ensuring the safe transport of specimens that may pose a danger.
