Q

Define hazard division 1.2 and what could occur in an incident?

A

1.2 Substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.

Items burning and exploding a few at a time. Fragments, firebrands and unexploded items may be projected in considerable numbers and may explode on impact propagating the fire/explosion

Q

Define hazard division 1.3 and what could occur in an incident?

A

Substances or articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor explosion hazard or minor projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.

Some items will burn with great violence, intense heat as a mass fire hazard and others sporadically. Large burning clumps, firebrands and burning packaging may be projected from an explosion but not usually dangerous kinetic fragments.

Q

Define 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 (They are not UN recognised codes)

A

1.3.3 producing a mass fire effect. Items such as bulk propellant producing fireballs with projected burning fragments and intense heat which can be channelled by structures.

1.3.4 not producing a mass fire effect. Items may produce similar but more moderate effects compared to 1.3.3.

Q

Define hazard division 1.4 and what could occur in an incident?

A

Substances and articles which present no significant hazard.

Only a small hazard in an incident with effects largely contained within the packaging with no appreciable sized fragments being projected. Items should not contribute to any fire and an external fire will no function all the components. Generally packed as 1.4S.
