Introduction

Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are naturally occurring, such as earthquake or floods. They also included industry-related events that cause serious damage to the environment and loss of the life and property.

Page 3: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

Substances having dangerous properties which are hazardous to human health, or which adversely affect the environment,

such as: contagious, toxic, explosive

Hazardous Substances:

Page 4: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 1 (EXPLOSIVE)

Liable to detonation under appropriate circumstances such as fire or shock. Usually stable if not involved in fire or not moved. Do not handle unless trained and equipped.

Division 1.1 - Mass Explosion Hazard,

Division 1.2 - Explosion Hazard with Fragmentation,

Division 1.3 - Radiant Heat and/or violent burning Hazard, no

blast Hazard,

Division 1.4 - Small Hazard of Ignition or Initiation during

Transport,

Division 1.5 - Mass Explosion Hazard but very insensitive,

Division 1.6 - Extremely intsensitive with no mass explosion

hazard.

CLASS 2 (FLAMMABLE, NON-FLAMMABLE, POISON GAS)

CLASS 2, DIVISION 2.1 (FLAMMABLE GAS) Compressed gasses which are flammable. May also be toxic or corrosive. Vapours may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back to the source. Many of these gasses are heavier than air and will tend to spread close to ground level. Examples: Propane, Butane and welding gasses such as Acetylene.

CLASS 2, DIVISION 2.2 (NON-FLAMMABLE GAS)CLASS 2, DIVISION 2.2 (NON-FLAMMABLE GAS) Compressed gasses which are not flammable. May also be corrosive or toxic. These gasses may suffocate by oxygen displacement. While not flammable, some of these gasses may support and even accelerate a fire. High-pressure containers can rocket or throw shrapnel if exposed to fire or ruptured. Examples: Anhydrous Ammonia, Compressed Air, Nitrogen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide.

CLASS 2, DIVISION 2.3 (POISON GAS)CLASS 2, DIVISION 2.3 (POISON GAS) Extremely toxic compressed gas or high vapour pressure liquid. Even low level exposure to vapour or fumes may result in serious injury or death. May be flammable and/or corrosive as well. Examples: Chlorine, Hydrocyaniac Acid, Phosgene, Ethylene Oxide.

Page 6: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 3 (FLAMMABLE and COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS)

One of the most common hazardous materials classifications including gasoline, some alcohol, paints, thinners, etc. May be toxic and corrosive as well. Flammable liquids evolve vapours which will generally ignite readily when exposed to an ignition source. Some of these vapours may be harmful. Combustible liquids will burn but require some effort to ignite. They do not meet the criteria for any other hazard class (except Class 9) and range from paint thinners to heating oils. They are not regulated in shipping containers of 110 (417 liters) gallons or less.

Page 7: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 4 (FLAMMABLE SOLIDS) This class includes materials which are FLAMMABLE SOLIDS (Division 4.1),SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL and PYROPHORIC LIQUIDS (Division 4.2), and DANGEROUS WHEN WET (Division 4.3).

These materials are liable through friction, contact with air, water or by self heating, to ignite and burn with great intensity or produce flammable gasses. Many are toxic if taken internally such as through contaminated food, contaminated cigarettes, or water. Usually highly reactive and if involved in a fire may burst their containers. Examples: Phosphorus, Sodium Metal, Calcium Carbide.

CLASS 5 (OXIDISERS AND ORGANIC PEROXIDES) Very reactive with wood, oils, fuels,paper, or any organic material, to generate heat, ignite or explode. Will promote and accelerate fires to the point of possible explosion. Will react with skin and clothing. Usually does not present a vapour hazard unless reacting or involved in a fire. May decompose explosively upon heating or contamination. Examples: Hydrogen Peroxide, Potassium Permanganate, Ammonium Perchlorate, Dry Chlorine for swimming pools, Some fertilisers.

Page 8: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 6 (POISONOUS MATERIAL)

Toxic liquids or solids.Not highly flammable, but may be mixed in oil carriers. Not severely corrosive. Primarily toxic by skin contact or ingestion. May be toxic by inhalation of vapours or dust if dust is airborne or material is on fire. May be extremely poisonous and if exposure occurs death may result very quickly. Examples: Arsenic, Sodium Cyanide, Strychnine and many pesticides.

Page 9: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 7 (RADIOACTIVE)

Emits harmful radiation which cannot be detected without specialised instruments. High level materials are packed in such strong packages that leakage in a very low possibility. Medical materials are often shipped in small lead vessels. Low level wastes include debris contaminated with small amount of radioactive material. These included such items as clothing, paper, tools, etc. Do not handle these materials or handle broken packages.

Page 10: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 8 (CORROSIVE)

Acids or bases which may be in liquid or solid form. they will attack a variety of metals and will produce severe damage to skin or other tissues on contact. May react with other materials such as water to evolve heat and gasses. In a violent reaction, acids or bases may produce a large volume of corrosive vapours which may spread a considerable distance. Examples: Hydrochloric Acid, Sulphuric Acid, and Caustic Soda.

Page 11: Introduction Recent events raised the issue of safety and emergency preparedness for all people in the country. These events included those, which are.

CLASS 9 (Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials) Materials which do not fit another hazard class such as those which have ananaesthetic, noxious, or other similar property which could affect a flight crew: or hazardous substances or hazardous wastes which do not meet the definition of another hazard class or division. Examples: Acetaldehyde Ammonia, PCB’s Sodium Chromate.
