BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Chemicals are used in every walk of life. Most chemicals are used in a helpful way. Materials become hazardous when these chemicals and other products are used improperly. Hazardous materials are not just produced in chemical manufacturing, but also in service stations, hospitals, and hazardous waste sites.

Hazardous waste is shipped across the country all the time. It is stored, used and manufactured in major industrial plants to gardening stores. Hazardous materials can be explosive, flammable and combustible, poisonous, and radioactive materials. The materials are classified in the following classifications.

CLASSIFICATIONS OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Flammable liquid – liquids having a flash point below 100 degrees

Combustible liquid – liquid having a flash point between 100 and 200 degrees

Flammable solid – a material that can cause a fire through friction, absorption of moisture or chemical change and when ignited will burn violently

CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Oxidizer – a substance that readily yields oxygen to stimulate combustion

Corrosive – liquid corrodes steel Organic peroxide – organic compound

containing the chemical bond, oxygen to oxygen

Poison – substance so toxic that it presents a risk to health

Compressed gas - substance in gas or liquid form contained in a vessel under pressure

CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Cryogenics - substances that are extremely cold such as liquid nitrogen, liquid helium and dry ice

Radioactive - any material having a specific activity greater than 0.002 micro curies per gram (uCi/g)

Biomedical - tissues, organs, and blood from humans and primates

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS HISTORY

Hazardous material classifications are denoted with diamond-shape signage. The diamonds are color coded for quick identification of material.

Red denotes flammable material.

HAZARDOUS LABELING SYSTEMS

There are two systems for labeling hazardous materials. National Fire Protection Association U.S. Department of Transportation

The codes are basically similar. Both systems use the same color coding and number usage.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION

The NFPA code is for use in buildings that manufacture, use, and store hazardous materials. It is for addressing specific hazards and cleanup of a spill or emergency.

NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION

Red = flammabilityBlue = health hazardYellow = instabilityWhite = special hazardsNumbers 0 – 4 = severity of hazard

0 = least and 4 = most

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

These codes are for quick identification of the load being transported. This allows the firefighters and emergency personnel to understand how to treat the accident. The placards are attached to the vehicle carrying the materials.

HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

There are four methods to dispose of hazardous materials: Treatment Disposal Storage Recycling

Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved

Page 21: Principles of Manufacturing Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved 1

21

HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

Disposal – putting the waste in a land disposal site specially designed to contain the hazardous waste

Landfills, waste piles and injection wells are used for this type of disposal.

Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved

Page 22: Principles of Manufacturing Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved 1

22

HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

Treatment - transforms the hazardous material to a less harmful product

Hazardous materials may be burned to reduce toxic composition and reduce the amount of materials.

Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved

Page 23: Principles of Manufacturing Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. All rights reserved 1

23

HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

Storage – an area used to keep the hazardous materials for a short period of time.

This could be a location between transportation and disposal.

HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

Recycling –hazardous materials are processed into a reusable substance

This is called reclamation and is used on metals and solvents.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is the main prevention for an employee against hazardous materials. The employee must be trained in the type of, when to wear, adjustments, how to maintain and limitations of the equipment. The enforcement of using PPE is left to the instructor in schools and the safety committee in industrial plants.

EYE AND FACE PROTECTION

Is required in labs when: handling hot solids or molten metal flying particles (chiseling, milling, sawing,

turning, shaping, and/or cutting) heat treating, tempering, or kiln firing any material intense light from gas or arc welding brazing, cutting or laser use repairing of any vehicle handling any chemicals and gases
