    Whose responsibility is it to remove the placards from a container after offloading?

    Where can that rule or guideline be found?

    What is the most efficient & safe way to remove these placards when temperatures are below freezing?

    You’re responsible. And a propane touch works great. A little heat, off it comes. Or, if you can find a good 18 or 24 volt paint remover. That would be ideal also.

    So the driver is responsible?
    What type of paint remover are you referring too? (Sander, Oscillating tool, grinder)

    Removing placards is the responsibility of whoever unloaded the hazardous goods from container/trailer if you can find them:D
    Paint or duct tape the quickest way to deal with adhesive placards.

    That's what I used.
    I'll give it a feeble, half-hearted chance to peel off, and then spray paint it.
