hazard Flashcards
Pursuant to the RA 6969, DAO 2015-09 issued by DENR presents the guidelines on proper labelling, storage and management of hazardous substances.
GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM (GHS)
Standardized symbols for labelling hazardous chemical substances.
GHS pictograms
Technical documents that contain all information about a certain material related to its health effects upon exposure, hazard and storage handling, precautionary measures, and emergency procedures
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
gives specifications for a standard systern for the assigning and identification of the health, flammability, and
reactivity hazards of materials under emergency conditions such as spills, leaks, and fires.
NFPA Hazard Signal
can be ignited at concentrations less than their lower flammable limits and at temp below their flash point
Flammable liquids
lowest temp, at 1 atm, at which liquid releases flammable vapor into the atmosphere
Flash point
manual fire-extinguishing equipment.
Fire extinguishers
Required type of fire extinguisher for Fires involving ordinary combustible solid materials such as wood, paper, rubber, plastic. cloth
Water type
Multipurpose dry chemical type
Wet chemical tvpe
Required type of fire extinguisher for Fires in flammable and combustible llquid and gas (surface fire)
Aqueous film-foaming foam (AFFF)
Film-foaming fluoroprotein foam (FFFP)
Carbon dioxide; dry chemical type
Required type of fire extinguisher for Fires involving energized electrical equipment (electrical fire)
Dry chemical type
HCFC type
Required type of fire extinguisher for Fires involving combustible metals such as
aluminum, magnesium, sodium, titanium
Dry powder
Required type of fire extinguisher for Kitchen fire
Kitchen extinguisher
Color Designation for Dry chemical (ABC)
Red body, white band
Color Designation for Carbon monoxide
Red body, black band
Color Designation for Foam
Red body, blue band
Color Designation for Halon substitute
Light green body, white band
arise from the highly ,reactive nature of chemicals in which in the presence of a stimulus, may cause sudden increase in temperature or explosion.
Reactive hazards
materials that react violently with water
Water reactive substances
materials that ignite due to rapid oxidation by oxygen or moisture in the air
Pyrophoric substances
include gases which are contained in a receptacle at a pressure of 200kPa (gauge) or more at 20oC, or which are liquefied or liquefied and refrigerated.
Gases under pressure
arise from explosion due to rapid expansion or evolution of gases usually in a closed or restricted system
Explosion hazards
which poses explosion hazards, are reactions that result in sudden, rapid rise in temperature of the material that is being heated which may
become violent.
Runaway reactions
