Explosibility and Fire Control. As in the case of many other reactive chemicals, the fire and explosion hazards of ethylene oxide are system-dependent. Each system should be evaluated for its particular hazards including start-up, shut-down, and failure modes. Storage of more than a threshold quantity of 5000 lb (—2300 kg) of the material makes ethylene oxide subject to the provisions of OSHA 29 CFR 1910 for "Highly Hazardous Chemicals." Table 15 summarizes relevant fire and explosion data for ethylene oxide, which are at standard temperature and pressure (STP) conditions except where otherwise noted. 

SULFURYL FLUORIDE (2699-79-8) FjSOj A noncombustible, compressed gas. Reacts with moisture, acids, alcohols, releasing hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers bases, amines, amides, and inorganic hydroxides ethers, especially in the presence of metal salts. High temperatures may cause cylinders to burst, see 29 CFR 1910.101 for specific storage regulations. 

FLUORURE de SULFURYLE (French) (2699-79-8) A compressed gas. Reacts with moisture. High temperatures may cause cylinders to burst. See 29 CFR 1910.101 for specific storage regulations. 

Minimizing stored quantities According to the OSHA requirements in 29 CFR 1910.106, Class lA flammable liquids must be limited to a maximum of 25 gallons (95 L) of liquids in containers in storage in any one fire area of a facility. Other flammable or combustible liquids must be limited to a maximum of 120 gallons (450 L) of liquids in containers. 

An example of noncompliance in an audit of a petrochemical facility is a respirator found covered with dust and lying on a tabletop in a sample room. This is in violation of the Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), which requires that respirators be stored in a convenient, clean, and sanitary location. This was a case of improper respirator storage. A root cause analysis would determine if operators know where and how respirators should be stored. If they don t, then additional respirator training may be required. 

The OSHA requirements for inside storage rooms for chemicals are given in 29 CFR Part 1910.1 06(d)(4) and are based onNFPA Standard 30-1969. This latter standard has been amended since 1969, but at this time, the OSHA requirements have not been changed to... 

Any fire suppression system installed in the storage room must meet the standards of 29 CFR Parts 1910.155-165. 

Storage rooms for flammable and combustible materials (29 CFR 1910.106). Mark an aisle at least 3 ft wide in every inside storage room. 

The training requirements for fall protection are found at 29 CFR 1926.503. Specifically, 1926.503(a)(2)(vi) requires training in the correct procedures for the handling and storage of equipment/ materials, and the erection of overhead protection. 

Today, hazardous waste must be collected, placed in containers, and transported to a storage or treatment facility for proper disposal. Individuals who must remove and work with hazardous waste must be trained in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Operation and Emergency Response (29 CFR 1910.120) regulation (see Figure 23.7). This regulation addresses the requiranents and procedures for the remediation of a hazardous waste site that ensures both protection of the public and the workforce. Approximately 140 chemicals have been identified as the most common chemicals found on hazardous waste sites by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). 

Except as provided in paragraph (a)(7) of this section, this section does not apply to the storage, transportation, distribution or sale of MDA in intact containers sealed in such a manner as to contain the MDA dusts, vapors, or liquids, except for the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.1200 and paragraph (e) of this section.
