Study Notes
Hazardous Material Categories
- Flammable/combustible materials: Substances that ignite easily and cause fires.
- Aerosol containers: Contain pressurized substances that can spray or release. Risk of fire, explosion or harmful chemicals.
- Toxic materials: Substances that can cause harm or death if ingested, inhaled or absorbed.
- Corrosive materials: Substances that damage or destroy materials like skin, metals etc. Include acids and bases.
- Oxidizing materials: Substances that can easily give off oxygen, leading to faster combustion and potential explosions.
- Compressed gases: Gases under high pressure that can be dangerous if not handled correctly.
