fall within any of the following categories. In case of conflict
between the rating according to UFC Standard No. 19-3 and the rat-
ing.established by the categories below, the rating by the cate-
gor~es shall prevail. A material is highly toxic when a lethal
dose or a lethal concentration falls within any of the followin
cote ories Z9 CFR 9
9 ~ 1910.1200 Appendix A No. 3}:

tration of airborne contaminant, normally expressed in parts per
million ~ppm} ar milligrams per cubic meter, which represents the
maximum level from which one could escape within 30 minutes without
any escape-impairing symptoms or irreversible health effects. This
level is established by the National Institute of Occupational
Safety and Health ~NIOSH}. If adequate data does not exist for

shall be converted to cubic feet per minute ~cfm~
of gas at normal temperature and pressure ~NTP~.
iv. Portable Tanks and C linders. For portable
tanks and cylinders, the maximum flaw rate of release
shall be calculated based on assuming the total re-
lease from the cylinder or tank within the time spe-
cified in Table 80.303-B. When portable tanks or
cylinders are equipped with approved excess flow or
reduced flaw valves, the worst case release will be
determined by the maximum achievable flow from the
valve as determined by the valve manufacturer or the
gas supplier. Reduced flow and excess flow valves
shall be permanently marked by the manufacturer to
indicate the maximum design flow rate. Such markings
shall indicate the flow rate far air under standard
conditions.

to illustrate and clarify the hazard categories contained in Division II of
Article 80. The hazard categories are based upon the Cade of Federal Regu-
Ordinance - 84
lotions Title ~9 ~CFR 29}. Where numerical classifications are included,
they are en accordance with nationally recognized standards. The specific
chemicals cited in this Appendix are intended to serve as examples only, and
should not be construed as limiting the scope or application of these regula-
tions.
NOTE: More than one hazard category may apply to an individual sub-
stance. Consu]t both the "physical hazards" and the "health hazards" sections
of this Appendix.

III. EVALUATION OF HAZARDS.
A. De ree of Hazard. The degree of hazard present depends upon many
variables which should be considered individually and in combination. Some
of these variables are:
I. Chemical Pro erties of the Material. Chemical praperties of
the material determine self-reactions and reactions which may occur with
other materials. Generally, materials within sub-divisions of hazard
categories will exhibit similar chemical properties. However, materials
with similar chemical properties may present very different hazards.
Each individual material should be researched to determine its hazardous
properties and then considered in relation to other materials that it
might contact and the surrounding environment,
2. Ph sical Pro erties of the Material. Physical properties, such
as whether a material is a solid, liquid or gas at ordinary temperatures
and pressures, considered along with chemical properties will determine
requirements for cantai nment of the material . Specific gravity ~wei ght
of a liquid compared to water} and vapor density weight of a gas com-
pared to air} are both physical praperties which are important in evalu-
Ordinance - 93
sting the hazards of a material.
3. Amount and Concentration of the Material. The amount of mater-
ial present and its concentration must be considered along with physical
and chemical properties to determine the magnitude of the hazard. Hydro-
gen peroxide far example, is used as an antiseptic and a hair bleach in
low concentrations approximately S% in water solution}. Over 8% hydro-
gen peroxide is classed as an oxidizer and is toxic. Above 90% it is a
Class 4 oxidizer "that can undergo an explosive reaction when catalyzed
or exposed to heat, shock or friction," a definition which incidentally
also places hydrogen peroxide over 90% concentration in the Unstable
Reactive} category. Small amounts at high concentrations may present
a greater hazard than large amounts at low concentrations.
4, Actual Use, Acti vi t or Process ~nvol vi n the Materi a1. The
definitions of handling, storage and use in closed systems refer to
materials in packages or containers. Dispensing and use in open con-
tainers or systems describe situations where a material is exposed to
ambient conditions, or vapors are liberated to the atmosphere. Dispen-
sing and use in open systems then, are generally more hazardous situ-
ations than handling, storage or use in closed systems. The actual use
or process may include heating, electric or other sparks, catalytic or
reactive materials and many other factors which could affect the hazard
and must therefore be thoroughly analyzed,
5. Surroundin Conditions. Conditions such as other materials or
processes in the area, type of construction of the structure, fire pro-
tection features ~e.g; fire walls, sprinkler systems, a1 arms, etc.},
occupancy fuse} of ad~o~n~ng areas, normal temperatures, exposure to
weather, etc. must be taken into account in evaluating the hazard.
B. Evaluation uestions.
~. What is the materials}? Correct identification is important,
exact spelling is vital. Check labels, MSDS, ask responsible persons,
etc.
~. What is the concentration and strength?
3. What is the physical form of the material? Liquids, gases and
finely divided solids have differing requirements for spill/leak con-
trol, containment.
4. How much material is present? Consider in relation to permit
amounts, exempt amounts from Group H Occupancy requirements}, amounts
which require detached storage and overall magnitude of the hazard.
5. What other materials including furniture, equipment and build-
ing components} are close enough to interact with the material?
6. What are the likely reactions?
1. What is the activity involving the materials?
Ordinance - 94
8. Haw does the activity impact the hazardous characteristics of
the material? Consider vapors released, or hazards otherwise exposed.
9. what must the material be protected from? Consider other mater-
ials, temperature, shock pressure, etc.
10. what effects of the material must people and the environment be
protected from?
11. How can protection be accomplished? Consider:
a. proper containers and equipment,
b. separation by distance ar construction,
c. enclosure in cabinets or roams,
d. spill control, drainage and containment,
e. control systems -ventilation, special electrical, detec-
tion and alarm, extinguishment, explosion venting, limit controls,
exhaust scrubbers, excess flow control,
f. administrative ~operatianal} controls - signage, ignition
source control, security, personnel training, established proce-
dures, storage plans, emergency plans.
Evolution of the hazard is a strongly subjective process, therefore, the
person charged with this responsibility must gather as much relevant
data as possible so that the decision will be justified and within the
limits prescribed in laws, policies and standards. It may be necessary
to cause the responsible persons in charge to have tests made by quali-
f~ed.persons and/or testing laboratories to support contentions that a
particular material or process is or is not hazardous. See UFC Section
2.201.
IV. LIST OF "EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES" AND THEIR THRESHOLD PLANNING
QUANTITIES.
As established by Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986,
published in the Federal Register Vol. 52, No. 71, April 22, 1987, and codi-
fied as 40 CFR 355.
NOTE: Threshold Planning Quantities TPQ} for solids. Extremely
hazardous substances that are solids are subject to either of two TPQs 4e.g.,
500/10,000 lbs.}. The lower quantity applies only if the solid exists in
powdered form and has a particle size of less than 100 microns, or is handled
in solution or molten form, or meets the criteria for a National Fire Protec-
tion Association ~NFPA} rating of 2, 3, or 4 for reactivity. If the solid
does not meet any of these criteria, it is subject to the higher TPQ.
