Study Notes
Hazard Classes Overview
- Hazard classes are categorized as follows:
- Explosives, Compressed Gases, Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids, Oxidizers, Poisons, Radioactive materials, Corrosives, Miscellaneous materials.
- ORM-D indicates materials with limited transportation hazards.
- Forbidden materials cannot be transported.
Divisions of Hazard Classes
- Explosives (Class 1) has 6 divisions.
- Compressed Gases (Class 2) has 3 divisions.
- Flammable Liquids (Class 3) has 2 divisions.
- Flammable Solids (Class 4) has 3 divisions.
- Oxidizers (Class 5) has 2 divisions.
- Poisons (Class 6) has 2 divisions.
- Radioactive (Class 7), Corrosives (Class 8), and Miscellaneous (Class 9) have 0 divisions.
Types of Stress
- Stress types include Thermal, Mechanical, and Chemical.
Pipeline Markers
- Must indicate Product, Owner, Emergency number, and Signal word.
Class Definitions with Major Hazards
- Class 1 (Explosives) hazards include mass detonation and fragmentation.
- Class 2 (Gases) hazards include BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions).
- Class 3 (Flammable Liquids) hazards involve burns and toxicity.
- Class 4 (Flammable Solids) hazards consist of spontaneous combustion.
- Class 5 (Oxidizers) hazards intensify fire and may cause unstable reactions.
- Class 6 (Poisons) hazards relate to toxicity and infectious diseases.
- Class 7 (Radioactives) hazards include radioactive burns.
- Class 8 (Corrosives) hazards involve skin damage.
- Class 9 (Miscellaneous) presents unspecified transportation hazards.
Specific Hazardous Materials
- Sulfuric Acid is classified as a Class 8 Corrosive.
- Anthrax and other viruses are classified under Class 6 (Poisons).
- Cobalt, Uranium, and Hexafluoride are classified as Class 7 (Radioactive).
Emergency Response
- Responders should secure the area, identify HAZMAT presence, avoid entry into the hot zone, provide personal protection, and call trained personnel.
- For emergencies, contact 911.
- Use CHEMTREC for shipping papers during incidents.
Hazard Identification and Communication
- NFPA 704 standard uses a color-coded system: Blue (Health), Red (Flammability), Yellow (Instability), and White (Special Hazards).
- US DOT categorizes hazardous materials and shipping papers include Hazard Class, Proper Shipping Name, and Packing group.
Regulatory Standards
- RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) governs waste handling.
- OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires hazard identification in workplaces.
- GHS (Globally Harmonized System) standardizes chemical classification criteria.
Containers and Packaging
- Packaging types include Bulk (e.g., cargo tanks, railcars) and non-bulk (e.g., drums, boxes).
- Types of Radioactive Containers include Excepted, Industrial, Type A, Type B, and Type C.
Breaches and Hazmat Entry Points
- Breach types include disintegration, cracking, closures opening, punctures, and splits/tears.
- Hazmat can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, absorption, and injection/contact.
Hazardous Wastes and Substances
- Hazardous materials are substances that can cause harm to people or the environment when released.
- Extremely Hazardous Substances require reporting if released above a certain quantity.
Miscellaneous
- ORM-D materials do not use hazard placards, only labels.
- Shipping papers must be accessible in designated locations, including vehicle cabs, train crew areas, and plane cockpits.
- If placards on a bulk container show multiple hazards, it indicates more than one hazard is present.
