The package comprises a container which is generally impermeable to a hazardous liquid contained therein, the container being subject to discharge of its contents when subjected to impact. The container is disposed within a first jacket of a liquid permeable material of sufficient strength to contain fragments of the container on rupture thereof. A second jacket is provided over first jacket, the second jacket having at least an inner wall and outer wall, the inner wall being liquid permeable, a hazardous liquid swellable body being contained between the inner wall and outer wall and being generally co-extensive with the inner wall and the outer wall, and a third jacket of a hazardous liquid vapor impervious membrane. The package provides substantial improvement in safety when transporting a container containing a hazardous liquid.
