Flammable materials/substances Sheets

Pyrophoric and other spontaneously combustible substances will generally be identified as such on their product literature, material safety data sheets (MSDSs), or International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSCs). If transported, these substances should be identified as DOT/UN Hazard Class 4.2 materials for shipping purposes and labeled as spontaneously combustible. For pyrophoric substances, the NFPA 704 diamond for container or vessel labeling has a red (top) quadrant with a rating of 4, indicating the highest severity of flammability hazard (NFPA 704, 2001). Note that pyrophoric materials often exhibit one or more other reactivity hazards as well, such as water reactivity. [Pg.28]

Containers of combustibles or flammables, when stacked while being moved, are always separated by dunnage sufficient to provide stability. Material safety data sheets must be available to employees handling hazardous substances. [Pg.446]
