🧪 HAZCHEM Code Calculations for Multi-loads

This paragraph walks through how to calculate the HAZCHEM code for multi-load vehicles carrying multiple hazardous substances. By analyzing the first character (indicating fire suppression methods) and the second character (indicating hazard level and protection methods), the highest severity is chosen to form a composite code for the entire load. A detailed example is provided, illustrating the calculation of a multi-load HAZCHEM code when multiple emergency action codes like 3Y, 2S, and 4WE are involved. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of selecting the highest hazard and protection level to ensure proper safety measures.

⚠️ Introduction to the NFPA Diamond and its Importance

This section introduces the NFPA 704 standard, which uses the 'fire diamond' to help emergency personnel quickly assess risks posed by hazardous materials. The NFPA diamond uses color codes to represent different hazard categories: red for flammability, blue for health hazards, yellow for chemical reactivity, and white for special warnings. These divisions allow emergency responders to identify risks and decide on the necessary precautions or procedures. The importance of understanding and using these color codes to prevent accidents during emergency responses is highlighted.

🔥 NFPA Diamond: Flammability Ratings (Red Section)

Here, the flammability ratings within the NFPA diamond's red section are detailed. Materials are rated from 0 to 4, with 0 representing materials that do not burn (like concrete) and 4 representing highly flammable substances (like acetylene). The flammability scale covers a range of substances, from those that require intense preheating to ignite, to those that ignite readily under normal temperatures. Each level on the scale is explained with examples of substances that correspond to the different ratings, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and mineral oil.

🩺 NFPA Diamond: Health Hazards (Blue Section)

This paragraph explains the health hazard ratings in the NFPA diamond, which are indicated by the blue section. Chemicals are rated from 0 (no health hazard) to 4 (extremely dangerous). Examples are provided for each level, such as potassium chloride (rated 1, causing minor irritation) and hydrogen cyanide (rated 4, potentially deadly after brief exposure). The paragraph explains how these ratings help in determining the precautions needed to protect workers and the public from chemical exposure.

💥 NFPA Diamond: Chemical Reactivity (Yellow Section)

This part of the NFPA diamond focuses on chemical reactivity, as indicated by the yellow section. The reactivity is rated from 0 (stable under normal conditions) to 4 (capable of detonation or explosive decomposition at normal temperatures). Examples of chemicals for each reactivity level include nitrogen (0), potassium (2), ammonium nitrate (3), and nitroglycerin (4). The importance of understanding these ratings is stressed, as it informs the necessary precautions to handle reactive substances safely.

❗ Special Hazard Symbols (White Section)

The final section explains the special hazard symbols displayed in the white area of the NFPA diamond. Standard symbols include 'OX' for oxidizers, 'W' for water-reactive substances, and 'SA' for simple asphyxiant gases. Non-standard symbols like 'COR' for corrosive and 'BIO' for biological hazards are also discussed. The use of these symbols, though not always part of the official NFPA standard, helps emergency responders identify specific risks that require special handling procedures.

📊 Examples of NFPA Diamond Usage in Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

This paragraph provides examples of how NFPA diamonds are displayed on material safety data sheets (MSDS) for various chemicals like superior kerosene oil and diesel fuel. It compares the NFPA diamond with the Hazardous Materials Identification System (HMIS), clarifying that while both systems look similar, they serve different purposes. The importance of using NFPA diamonds for labeling hazardous materials and guiding emergency responses is highlighted. The MSDS examples show how the system is applied in real-world settings.

It provides emergency responders with crucial information, such as the appropriate actions to take during an incident involving dangerous goods. In the video, the HAZCHEM system is described as vital for ensuring safety when dealing with chemical spills or accidents.

💡Emergency Action Code (EAC)

The Emergency Action Code (EAC) is a three-character code used on HAZCHEM plates to inform emergency services of the actions needed in case of an accident involving hazardous substances. It includes information on fire suppression methods and personal protective equipment. The video details how the EAC helps emergency personnel manage incidents involving chemical hazards.

💡NFPA Fire Diamond

The NFPA Fire Diamond is a system developed by the National Fire Protection Association to identify the hazards of materials for emergency response. It uses a color-coded diamond with sections representing health hazards, flammability, reactivity, and special hazards. The video explains how this system helps emergency responders quickly assess the risks associated with chemicals.

💡Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to specialized clothing and equipment worn by emergency personnel to protect themselves from hazardous substances. In the video, PPE is discussed in the context of the EAC, where different types of PPE are required based on the level of hazard posed by the chemical. Examples include breathing apparatus and chemical-proof suits.

💡Fire Suppression

Fire suppression involves methods and equipment used to extinguish fires caused by hazardous chemicals. The video explains how the EAC provides guidance on which suppression methods (such as water jets, foam, or dry agents) should be used depending on the substance. Chemicals react differently to various suppression methods, so using the right one is critical.

💡Reactivity

Reactivity refers to a chemical’s tendency to undergo a chemical reaction, often in a hazardous manner. In the NFPA Fire Diamond, the yellow section indicates the chemical’s reactivity. The video describes how substances rated as highly reactive may explode or violently react with water, which determines the type of emergency response needed.

💡Flammability

Flammability is the ability of a chemical to ignite and burn. In the NFPA Fire Diamond, the red section represents flammability, with higher numbers indicating more flammable substances. The video provides examples of flammable materials like gasoline and acetone, which can ignite under various temperature conditions, requiring specific fire suppression methods.

💡Health Hazard

Health hazard refers to the potential of a chemical to cause harm to human health. In the NFPA Fire Diamond, the blue section indicates the level of health risk. The video explains how chemicals with higher health hazard ratings can cause serious injuries or death upon exposure, and why this information is critical for first responders.

💡Oxidizer

An oxidizer is a substance that can cause other materials to burn without the presence of air. In the NFPA Fire Diamond, oxidizers are marked in the special hazards section (white) with the symbol 'OXY'. The video highlights that oxidizers require specific handling and emergency measures due to their ability to intensify fires.

💡Multi-load Hazard Code

A multi-load hazard code is used when multiple hazardous substances are being transported together. The video explains how the highest hazard ratings from each substance are combined to create a single, comprehensive code. This ensures that emergency responders can take appropriate precautions for the entire load, not just individual substances.

decoding the emergency action code for

the method of suppression of fire and

the husking safety parameters then we

will look for some examples and

calculations for multi load vehicles

after has scheme we will move to NFPA

diamond we will discuss various color

codes and what they mean also we will

discuss in amateur

what is a scam and what information is

given in house complete how scam is a

warning plate system used for vehicles

transporting hazardous substances and on

storage facilities a sample house

complete as you can see on the screen

contains the following details the top

left section of the plate gives the

emergency action code or EAC telling the

emergency services like the fire brigade

about what actions they have to take if

there's an accident the middle left

section gives the UN substance

identification number describing the

chemical the lower left section gives

the telephone number that should be

called if any specialist advice is

needed the warning symbol at top right

indicates what danger the chemical

presents the bottom right of the plate

may or may not carry a company logo

there is also a standard null has

complete to indicate the Transperth of

non hazardous substances the null plate

does not include any AC or substance

identification number

emergency action code the emergency

action code or EAC is a three character

code which is displayed on all dangerous

goods classed carries and provides a

quick assessment to first responders and

emergency responders like the

firefighters and police about what

actions they should take if the carrier

carrying such Goods gets involved in an

incident such as traffic collision ei

seas are characterized by a single

number ranging from one to four and

either one or two letters which

completely depend on the hazard

dangerous goods emergency action code

list is reviewed in every two years it

is an essential compliance document for

all emergency services the local

government and for those who may control

the planning and prevention of

emergencies involving dangerous goods

let's see what does the characters in

the emergency action code show first

character in the code is always a number

ranging from 1 to 4 this number is

indicative of what type of fire

suppressant should be used to suppress a

fire from igniting or extinguish a fire

caused by the chemical wherever number 1

is given it shows that the chemical

needs waterjets as fire extinguishing

medium number 2 similarly means for gas

extinguishing medium however in the

absence of fog equipment a fine spray

may be used the number 3 which we

generally see everywhere around us holds

use of form as extinguishing medium

number 4 means chemical requires dry

agent like carbon dioxide or hell and

substitutes the system is designed to

rank fire suppression methods in order

of usability for example a chemical

marked with the number 2 or 4 can be

suppressed with methods 3 foam or for

dry agent but not with 1 that is water

jets the try agent method must be used

for chemicals that have an undesirable

reaction with water and must not be

allowed to come in contact with water

therefore 4 is the highest-ranking

separation method because all the other

methods use water water must not be

allowed to come into contact with the

substance at risk

eg AC contains at least one letter which

determines which category the chemical

falls under and which also highlights

the violence of the chemical that is

likely to spontaneously combust

X

for personal protective equipment to use

while working around the chemical and

what action to take when disposing of

the chemical each category is assigned a

letter to determine what actions are

required when handling containing and

disposing of the chemical in question

there are eight major categories which

are commonly denoted by a black letter

on a white background for subcategories

exist which specifically deal with what

type of personal protective equipment

responders must wear when handing the

emergency denoted by a white letter on a

black background in Australia with the

update of the Australian dangerous goods

cord volume seven in 2010 the white

letter on a black background has been

removed

making VA as a requirement at all large

incidents regardless of whether the

substances involved in a fire or not if

a category is classed as violent it is

denoted by letter B this means that the

chemical can be violently or explosively

reactive either with the atmosphere or

water or both which could be marked by

dangerous when wet symbol protection is

divided up into three categories of

personal protective equipment for

breathing apparatus and breathing

apparatus for fire only film denotes

that full personal protective equipment

provisions must be used around and in

contact with the chemical which will

usually include a portable breathing

apparatus and watertight and chemical

proof suit PA acronym for breathing

apparatus specifies that a portable

breathing apparatus must be used at all

times in and around the chemical and ba

for fire only specifies that a breathing

apparatus is not necessary for short

exposure periods to the chemical but is

required if the chemical is on a light

PA for fire only is denoted with in the

emergency action code as a white letter

on a black background while a black

heater on a white background denotes

breathing apparatus at all times when

changing the background color is not

possible such as with handwriting the

use of brackets means the same as a

black background three ye when written

with y in brackets means the same as a

white letter on a black background

substance control specifies what to do

with the chemical in the event of a

spill either dilute or contain dilute

means that the chemical may be washed

down the drain with large quantities of

water

in requires that the spillage must

not come in contact with drains or water

courses in the event of a chemical

incident the emergency action code may

specify that an evacuation may be

necessary as the chemical poses a public

hazard which may extend beyond the

immediate vicinity

if evacuation is not possible advice to

stay indoors and secure all points of

ventilation may be necessary

this condition is denoted by an e at the

end of any emergency action code it is

an optional letter depending on the

nature of the chemical let's try to

understand by examples for EAC 3y e

looking at the table we deduce that we

have to use for more dry agent substance

reacts violently or is explosive VA use

is essential for Y without black

background evacuate vicinity and contain

spill again for 3y e containing Y with

black background we need to use for more

dry agent substance reacts violently or

is explosive use be a fire present

evacuate vicinity and contain spill for

code to R we deduce use of fog form or

dry agent the substance is not violent

useful PP and dilute spill now let's see

for X it says use dry agent only the

substance is not violent for PPE are

essential and contain the spill can you

now deduce code one s e well let's say

you Stetz

fog form or dry agent breathing

apparatus is required for Phi only

evacuation is also needed and dilute the

runaway chemical let's see calculation

of how scheme action code for multi

loads or sites with multiple husking

codes example there are three substances

to be carried as a multi load having

emergency action codes of three Y 2 s

and 4 w e the first character of the EAC

for each of the three substances is 3/2

and for the highest number must be taken

as the first character of the code for

the multi load and therefore the first

character will be for the second

character for the EAC for each of the

three substances is y S&W let's see the

characters in the table substance

control has top character

the most severe case of impact it means

in dilution check chemicals people have

more hazard than our s and T also our

will be more dangerous than SOT so the

protection method also reduces as we

move from P to t unlike dilution type

chemicals W will have more hazard than X

Y or Z same as the protection method

reduces in dilution group same will be

followed here also we can say P and W

holds same level of hazard the only

difference will be that W cannot be

washed away while P can be same as with

our antics s and Y and T and Z all these

needs same protection level as it is

evident in the table so when we have to

compare s and y we will prefer Y as it

needs to be contained though it has same

hazard as s and needs same protection

standards but when we have to choose

between our and Y we will have to choose

R because it needs better protection

level applying these principles we will

choose Y from the given two that is 3 y

+ 2 s this resultant character Y is then

taken and copied with W which is the

most hazardous material and needs

full-body protection so our third

character will be W the third substance

has E as a third character and therefore

the multi load must also have an e the

resultant husking code for the three

substances carried as a multi load will

therefore be 4w e

what is the NFPA Diamond NFPA 704

standard system for the identification

of the hazards of materials for

emergency response is a standard

maintained by the National Fire

Protection Association it was first

adopted as a guide in 1960 and revised

several times since then it defines fire

diamonds used by emergency personnel to

quickly and easily identify the risks

posed by hazardous materials this helps

to determine what special equipment

should be used what procedures have to

be followed or precautions to be taken

during the initial stages of an

emergency response what are the color

codes saying in NFPA diamond the four

divisions are typically color-coded with

red indicating flammability blue

indicating level of health hazard yellow

for chemical reactivity and white

containing codes for special hazards

each of health flammability and

reactivity is rated on a scale from zero

new hazard to fourth severe risk the

numeric values in the first column are

designated in the standard by degree of

hazard using the Arabic numerals 0 1 2 3

& 4

let's see the first square of the nfpa

diamond it shows flammability and is

indicated by red number zero on red

square means materials that will not

burn under typical fire conditions

including intrinsically non combustible

materials such as concrete stone and

sand these materials will not burn in

air when exposed to a temperature of 820

degree centigrade for a period of 5

minutes the number one means materials

will require considerable preheating

under all ambient temperature conditions

before ignition or combustion can occur

it includes some finely divided

suspended solids that do not require

heating before ignition

these have flashpoint above 93 degree

centigrade like mineral oil and ammonia

the number two means chemical must be

moderately heated or exposed to

relatively high ambient temperature

before ignition can occur like diesel

fuel paper and sulfur also multiple

finely divided suspended solids that do

not require heating before ignition

Kanaka these have flashpoint between 37

and 93 degree centigrate number 3 means

liquids and solids including finely

divided suspended solids can be ignited

under almost all ambient temperature

conditions such as gasoline and acetone

these are liquids having a flashpoint

below 23 degree centigrate and having a

boiling point at or above 37 degree

centigrade or having a flashpoint

between 23 and 38 degree centigrate

number 4 means substance or chemical

will rapidly or completely vaporize at

normal atmospheric pressure and

temperature or is readily dispersed in

air and will burn readily such as

acetylene propane hydrogen gas includes

pyrophoric substances flashpoint of

these are below room temperature or

twinning

now let's see the blue diamond which

indicates level of health hazards a

chemical having zero in blue diamond

poses no health hazard no precautions

are necessary and would often no house

it above and beyond that of ordinary

combustible materials like wood and

paper the chemicals with number one

means exposure to these chemicals would

cause irritation with only minor

residual injury like acetone sodium

bromide and potassium chloride

chemicals with number two on intense or

continued but not chronic exposure could

cause temporary incapacitation or

possible residual injury some examples

of these are diethyl ether ammonium

phosphate and iodine chemicals with

number three short exposure to these

could cause serious temporary or

moderate residual injury like liquid

hydrogen carbon monoxide calcium

hypochlorite and hexafluoride is a casa

de the deadly form means very short

exposure to these chemicals could cause

death or major residual injury like

hydrogen cyanide phosphine methyl

isocyanate and hydrofluoric acid I hope

you can identify poisonous chemicals

having foreign Blue Diamond on their

label next time moving to next cube the

instability or reactivity indicator

shown by yellow color code zero rating

means these are normally stable even

under fire exposure conditions and are

not reactive with water like helium and

nitrogen rating one is given to those

chemicals which are normally stable but

can become unstable at elevated

temperatures and pressures such as

propane rating to means chemical

undergoes violent chemical change at

elevated temperatures and pressures and

reacts violently with water or it may

form explosive mixtures with water such

as white phosphorus potassium and sodium

free rating is given to substances which

are capable of detonation or explosive

decomposition but requires a strong

initiating source they must be heated

under confinement before initiation they

reacts explosively with water or will

detonate if severely shocked examples of

these are ammonium nitrate cesium and

hydrogen peroxide then unstoppable form

means the marked substance or chemical

is readily capable of detonation or

explosive decomposition at normal

temperatures and pressures examples of

these capable bombs are nitroglycerin

chlorine dioxide nitrogen triiodide and

chlorine trifluoride special notice is

given in 4th section or cubes shown by

white color the white special notice

area can contain several symbols the

following symbols are defined by the

NFPA 704 standard Oh X means oxidizer

it allows chemicals to burn without an

air supply such as potassium perchlorate

ammonium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide

cross w means it reacts with water in an

unusual or dangerous manner like cesium

sodium and sulfuric acid sa means simple

asphyxiant gas like hydrogen nitrogen

helium neon argon Krypton and xenon

non-standard symbols are also used in

white cube these hazard codes are not

part of the NFPA 704 standard but are

occasionally used in an unofficial

manner the use of non-standard codes may

be permitted required or disallowed by

the authority having jurisdiction like

fire department

cor means corrosive or strong acid or

base such as sulfuric acid and potassium

hydroxide acid o L K means acid or

alkaline to be more specific

pío or shown symbol means biological

hazard such as flu virus or rabies virus

pio i means poisonous like strychnine or

alpha amanitin r or IE d means

radioactive such as plutonium and cobalt

60 c ry and c ry o means cryogenic such

as liquid nitrogen let's see some

examples of NFPA diamond they can be

found on any material safety data sheet

or on the bottling or packing levels of

chemicals on user guides etc it can be

shown as a diamond of the degree of

hazard can be written in tabular form as

shown this is a view of material safety

data sheet of superior kerosene oil OS

ko MSDS for anthraquinone is also shown

here can you decide which of the two

will be more flammable shown here is

MSDS for diesel fuel the table shown on

right side is known as HMIS or hazardous

materials identification system code and

it is completely different from NFPA

diamond though it may look similar

HMIS is not used as widely as NFPA

system now this is the NFPA diamond from

the gasoline or petrol is MSDS

that's all for today thank you
