13 CLASS 4 – FLAMMABLE SOLID

Class 4.1 - Some are self-reactive, break down chemically at certain

temperature, subject to shock etc. Possible to decompose explosively,
or burn vigorously, or produce toxic gases or vapours.

Class 4.2 - Spontaneously Combustible - pyrophoric material, which is

a liquid or solid that can ignite within five (5) minutes after coming in
contact with air. Able to self heat without any energy supply.

Class 4.3 - Dangerous When Wet, when in contact with water these
materials can become spontaneously combustible or liberate
flammable or toxic gases. Eg: Aluminium Phosphide (liberates
phosphine gas), Calcium Carbide (liberates acetylene), Sodium.

51 SAFE HANDLING

• Handling shall in reference to the instructions in the MSDS

• Take precautionary measures against static electricity.
• Do not use mobile phones during handling
• The inspection, cleaning and maintenance of storage containers require the
application of strict procedures and must be entrusted to qualified personnel
(internal or external).
• Prevent the formation of vapors, mists and aerosols. Vapours may form
explosive mixtures with air.
• Do not smoke.
• Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
• Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO PRIME THE CONTAINER SIPHON BY SUCKING WITH
THE MOUTH.
• Do not use compressed air for filling, discharging, or handling operations.
• Never pierce, drill, grind, cut, saw or weld any empty container.

2023 – DANGEROUS GOODS

52 SAFE STORAGE

• Storage shall in reference to the instructions in the MSDS

• Storage area layout, tank design, equipment and operating procedures
must comply with the relevant European, particular national or local
regulations.
• If sulphur compounds are suspected to be present in the product, check
the atmosphere for H2S content.
• Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
• Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer
operations.
• Do not remove the hazard labels of the containers (even if they are empty).
• Preferably keep in the original container.
• Otherwise, reproduce all the statutory information from the labels onto the
new container.
• Keep containers tightly closed and properly labelled. Store separately from
oxidizing agents.

2023 – DANGEROUS GOODS

53 RECOMMENDED PRACTICES

Some of the recommended practices:

• Always store corrosive chemicals on spill
trays or inside spill containment area;
• Do not store liquids above solids to avoid
contamination in the event of a leak;
• Keep the outside of containers clean and
the storage area tidy. Chemical warehouse
does not have to be oily;
• Only keep minimal quantity of chemicals –
to discuss with Users and C&P;
• Tracking & recording of validity dates,
promote:
• FIFO (First In First Out)
• FEFO (First to Expired First Out)
