DVSA HGV / LGV theory test explanation for this question

You're at the scene of an incident. What does it mean if there's a plain orange rectangle displayed on one of the vehicles?

Vehicles that carry dangerous goods have badges displayed on the side and rear. The badges are orange and show the type of material that's being carried. Make a note of this and report it to the emergency services when you contact them.
