Chapter 2 Quizlet Flashcards
What are the seven clues of Hazardous material in order of increasing level of risk?
- Locations, occupancy types, and preincident surveys
- Basic container information
- Transportation placards, markings, and labels
- Nontransportation hazmat markings and labels
- Hazard information reference sources
- Sensory clues including victim signs and symptoms
- Monitoring and detection devices
How are containers classified?
By Capacity
Which form of container has no immediate form of containment?
Non bulk
What is the difference between Placards and Labels?
Placards go on Hazmat transport containers; Labels go on Hazmat packages.
What does MSST stand for?
Max Safety Storage Temperature
What does SADT stand for?
Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature
What are Polymers?
Large molecules made by linking many repeating small molecules (monomers). Some materials can polymerize violently and create fire or explosion hazards.
What is the minimum perimeter distance to establish for a Solid, Liquid and Gas Spill?
Solid 75’
Liquid 150’
Gas 330’
Compare and contrast Location and Occupancy.
Location — Specific geographic area or address of incident
Occupancy — Type and use to which structure is dedicated
The most common kind of Hazmat involves what?
Hydrocarbons
Any building with a fume hood may indicate what?
a functioning laboratory inside
Describe the criteria for a bulk container.
> 119 gallons for a liquid
than 882 lbs for a solid
1000 gallon capacity for gas
Describe the criteria for non bulk containers.
< 119 gallons for a liquid
< than 882 lbs for a solid
< 1000 gallon capacity for gas
What are some examples of Non bulk containers?
Drums, Boxes, car boys and bags
Describe the Nine UN Hazard Classes.
Class 1 — Explosives
Class 2 — Gases
Class 3 — Flammable/combustible liquids
Class 4 — Flammable solids
Class 5 — Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides
Class 6 — Toxic and infectious substances
Class 7 — Radioactive materials
Class 8 — Corrosive substances
Class 9 — Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles
What are the different Divisions of Class 1?
1.1 Mass explosion hazards
1.2 Projectile/fragment hazards
1.3 Fire hazard
1.4 Minor Hazard
1.5 Very insensitive explosives
1.6 Extremely insensitive
“Mary Please F*** Me Very Erotically”
What are the different divisions of Class 2?
2.1 Flammable
2.2 Non Flammable
2.3 Toxic Gasses
“F*** No Terry!!!”
What are the different divisions of Class 4?
4.1 Flammable solids can readily combust
4.2 Spontaneous Combustion
4.3 Water reactive Solids
What are the different divisions of Class 5?
5.1 → Oxidizing substances
5.2 → Organic Peroxides
What is an Oxidizing substance?
Liquids or solids that readily give off oxygen or other oxidizing substances.
What is an Organic Peroxide?
Oxidizers with a specific chemical composition that make them prone to reactivity. It is both a fuel and oxidizer.
How should organic peroxides be stored?
Must be stored Below the MSST. They will undergo a chemical change and may violently release from their packaging.
What are the different divisions of Class 6?
6.1 - Toxic
6.2 - Infectious
How must Class 7 be labeled?
It must be labeled on two opposite sides with a distinctive label.
