    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.
