1 Correctly Classifying and Determining Fire Protection Requirements for High- Hazard Group H Occupancies in New York State (2010 codes) Presented by: Chad R. Barnes, CFPS, SFPE, CPP

2 Agenda Objectives Statistics The code review process Group H flow chart BCNYS, Chapter 3, Section 307, High- Hazard Group H BCNYS, Chapter 4, Section 414, Hazardous Materials

3 Agenda (cont.) BCNYS, Chapter 4, Section 415, Groups H-1, H-2, H-3, H-4, and H-5 BCNYS limitations for Group H occupancies BCNYS, Chapter 9, Fire Protection Systems FCNYS, Chapter 27, Hazardous Materials General Provisions FCNYS, Chapters Example Group H occupancy In review Open discussion and questions

4 Objectives Terminal Utilizing the BCNYS/FCNYS, correctly classify and apply fire protection requirements for hazardous materials stored or utilized within a building

5 Objectives (cont.) Enabling Develop an understanding of the code review process and use of the Group H flow chart Develop a basic understanding of the BCNYS/FCNYS classification system for hazardous materials Develop a basic understanding of the application of control areas

6 Objectives (cont.) Enabling (cont.) Develop a basic understanding of the requirements in Chapters 3 and 4 of the BCNYS for the construction of control areas and Group H occupancies Develop a basic understanding of Chapter 27 of the FCNYS and the material specific chapters of the FCNYS Through a case study, apply the requirements of the BCNYS/FCNYS for the proper storage and handling of hazardous materials

7 Statistics Manufacturing of chemicals used for industrial, commercial, and consumer use accounts for ~10.3 percent of the manufacturing GDP and ~5.1 percent of the total US GDP Chemical manufacturing represents ~7,735 companies employing ~1.1 million people Compliance and the understanding of compliance varies greatly in industry

8 Code review process Engaging qualified hazardous materials and fire protection/code specialists whenever hazardous materials are involved (in any quantity) is essential to ensure code compliance and the successful handling of the materials and protection of the building occupants, the public, and the involved/adjacent properties

9 Code review process (cont.) Needs to be completed prior to major project programming and/or design activities Needs to be holistic and include all referenced standards, OSHA documents, etc. Needs to involve Owner to ascertain all proposed functions, hazardous materials storage/processes

10 Code review process (cont.) Hazardous materials classification process BCNYS Tables 307.1(1) and 307.1(2) FCNYS Tables (1), (2), (3), and (4) BCNYS Chapter 2 Definitions, Chapter 3 (307 definitions), Chapter 4 (415 definitions) FCNYS Chapter 27 (definitions) MSDS sheets NIOSH Guide to Chemical Hazards HMEx Assistant Hazardous Materials Expert Assistant software

11 Code review process (cont.)

12 Group H flow chart Classify the hazardous material Determine the MAQ for each hazardous material class Classify the situation of the hazardous materials Apply the control area requirements for the hazardous materials Does the occupancy contain material specific hazardous materials? Is the storage and use MAQ < the FCNYS material specific amount requirements Yes Issue Permit No 1) Construct additional control areas; 2) Utilize increases for cabinets and sprinklers 3) Locate materials outdoors Does the MAQ still exceed BCNYS/FCNYS limits? Yes Apply BCNYS/FCNYS H- occupancy requirements

13 Group H flow chart (cont.) Definitions Maximum allowable quantity (MAQ) per control area: The maximum amount of hazardous materials allowed to be stored or used within a control area inside a building or an outdoor control area, the maximum allowable quantity per control area is based on the material state and the material storage or use conditions Control area: Spaces within a building where quantities of hazardous materials not exceeding the maximum allowable quantities per control area are stored, dispensed, used or handled Closed system Open system

14 Group H flow chart (cont.) Important items to remember There are 15 exceptions listing conditions that are exempt from high-hazard occupancy classification because of: The quantity of materials The building s construction or use The packaging of materials The precautions taken to prevent fire The exceptions recognize the decreased combustibility, lowered fuel load of the high-hazard material, or the decreased risk to the public as a function of the above factors Even if a high-hazard material meets one of the exceptions, its storage and use must comply with BCNYS Section 414 and FCNYS Sections Definitions are CRITICAL

15 Group H flow chart (cont.) Important things to remember (cont.) BCNYS/FCNYS allows a 100% increase in materials stored in approved/listed enclosures (for most materials) BCNYS/FCNYS allows a 100% increase in materials in a building that is fully sprinklered per NFPA 13 (for most materials) Increase in materials is allowed to be taken accumulatively The aggregate quantity in use and storage shall not exceed the quantity listed for storage

16 BCNYS, Chapter 3, Section 307 Summary of Group H occupancies

18

19 BCNYS, Chapter 3, Section 307 (cont.) Maximum allowable quantities apply to one single control area, a given building may have multiple control areas, refer to Chapter 4 Control areas: Provide an alternative method to a Group H occupancy classification Regulate quantities of hazardous per control area rather than per building Provide credit for further compartmentation via 1-hour fire barrier assemblies Reduces risk of simultaneous involvement of control areas through require fire barrier assemblies Establish maximum allowable quantities per building by regulating the number of control areas (Chapter 4, Section 414, Table )

20 BCNYS, Chapter 3, Section 307 (cont.) Maximum allowable quantity tables Table 307.1(1) MAQ per control area of hazardous materials posing a physical hazard Table 307.1(2) MAQ per control area of hazardous materials posing a health hazard
