Fire, chemical changes caused

Ignitable Waste A liquid with a flash point less than 60°C (140°F), a waste which is an oxidizer, or ignitable compressed gas or non-liquid which is liable to cause fires through friction, absorption of moisture, spontaneous chemical changes or when ignited bums so vigorously and persistently as to create a hazard. 

It is not a liquid and is capable, under standard temperature and pressure, of causing fire through friction, absorption of moisture or spontaneous chemical changes and, when ignited, bums so vigorously and persistently that it creates a hazard. 

Hazard Extremely corrosive. Rapidly destroys human tissues on contact. Causes severe burns. Sharp, penetrating odor. May react with other chemicals, causing fires and explosions. Fumes are very toxic. Powerful oxidizer. May react violently with water. May exhibit violent chemical changes at elevated temperatures and pressures. 

Petroleum and chemical related hazards can arise from the presence of combustible or toxic liquids, gases, mist, or dust in the work environment. Common physical hazards include ambient heat, bums, noise, vibration, sudden pressure changes, radiation, and electric shock. Various external sources, such as chemical, biological, or physical hazards, can cause work related injuries or fatalities. Although all of these hazards are of concern this book primarily concentrates on fire and explosions hazards that can cause catastrophic events.
