A sudden event that disrupts normal routines and requires immediate action.

An emergency with significant consequences, causing injuries, deaths, or major property damage.

Actions taken to protect people and property, restore operations, and return to normalcy after an emergency.

People under stress may act irrationally, leading to unintentional harm during emergencies.

A law requiring chemical plants to have emergency response plans.

A law requiring industries to report hazardous substances and helping communities plan for chemical emergencies.

Panic can lead to unintentional harm during emergencies.

A team responsible for evaluating a process, including individuals with experience in the process and expertise in specific PSM analysis methods.

The area around a spill or release where untrained and unequipped individuals are prohibited from entering.

The process where a chemical penetrates the surface of a material, moves through it, and exits on the other side.

Material leakage through openings like zippers, seams, or holes.

An air-purifying respirator that utilizes chemical substances to filter harmful gases and vapors from inhaled air.

The highest level of protection required when severe hazardous exposure is likely. It includes a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and a fully encapsulated chemical-protective suit.

An emergency response team trained to handle hazardous materials incidents.

The designated area away from a spill where the incident command is established.

A respiratory protection device designed for specific use cases, requiring a face piece air flow rate of 4 cubic feet per minute (cfm) for proper operation.

A written document outlining procedures to prevent fires and handle emergencies. It includes hazard identification, control measures, equipment requirements, and designated personnel.

A plan administrator is the central point of contact for all fire prevention plan activities, ensuring that everyone follows procedures and information is communicated effectively.

A system designed to alert employees about potential fire hazards or other workplace emergencies, enabling them to take appropriate action and evacuate safely.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Halon are fire suppression agents. They can cause asphyxiation due to low oxygen levels or cause frostbite upon contact.

Flammable and combustible waste should be disposed off safely and promptly to prevent fire hazards.

The minimum temperature at which a substance will spontaneously ignite in air without a spark or flame. It is typically higher than the flash point.

A substance that accelerates the burning of other materials, often by releasing oxygen. Common examples include permanganate, peroxide, chlorite, nitrate, and fluorine.

A rapid reaction that produces heat and expands rapidly, often causing a blast or explosion. It occurs when flammable vapors, dusts, or fibers ignite.

A type of explosion where the reaction front moves slower than the speed of sound. It typically produces fumes and mist as the reaction progresses.

A type of explosion where the reaction front moves faster than the speed of sound. It generates a shock wave that propels the reaction forward.

A type of explosion that occurs when a material, such as a high explosive or propellant, detonates rapidly.

A type of explosion that occurs when a flammable gas or liquid ignites inside a closed container. The pressure buildup can cause the container to rupture.

The person responsible for communicating with the media and releasing official statements during emergencies.

Interacting and coordinating with other response entities that are not already part of the emergency response.

A program that requires facilities handling large quantities of hazardous substances to have plans in place for responding to emergencies.

A document outlining procedures for handling materials that can cause fire, including storage, ignition sources, and fire protection equipment.

A list of potential fire hazards and their safe handling and storage methods.

A set of steps to manage and control sources of ignition in a facility.

Detailed information on the fire protection systems and equipment available to control a fire.

Designation of individuals responsible for maintaining fire safety equipment, ensuring its functionality.

Identifying individuals responsible for managing flammable and combustible materials in a facility.

Implementing procedures to prevent the accumulation of flammable and combustible waste, reducing fire hazards.
