20 Consensus Standard versus Regulations

21 How are consensus standards used? Keep in mind SDOs have different motivations ANSI Standards- primary motivation is safety OSHA Standards- balance between worker safety & employer costs NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved. 21

22 How are consensus standards used? 1) An ANSI Standard isn t a law it s discretionary 2) ANSI Standards can become Mandatory Codes & Standards are adopted by US agencies (Federal, State and local) and international countries into law Example: OSHA Incorporated by Reference 29 CFR list of consensus standards incorporated by reference (e.g. NFPA, ASTM, ASME) NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved. 22

23 How are consensus standards used? 3) You can be cited for not following voluntary standards OSHA standards tell the employers what to comply with to be safe Employers are expected to follow consensus standards on how to be safe Example: For General Industry, OSHA s electrical regulations specify what employers & employees should to do to work safely NFPA 70E tells how employers & employees can comply with the government rules on the operation and maintenance of electrical systems. OSHA may cite for non-compliance with an ANSI or similar consensus standard (e.g. General Duty clause) OSHA issues de minimis notices to employers who comply with more current versions of consensus standards, as long as at least as protective as older version. 4)You don t have to adopt voluntary standards just be aware NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association.

61 NFPA 400 Outline Chapter 1 Scope, purpose, application Chapter 2 References Chapter 3 Definitions Chapter 4 Classification Chapter 5 Permissible storage and use (MAQ Tables) Chapter 6 Fundamental requirements Chapter 7- Emergency Chapter 8-Reserved Chapter 9-Security Chapter 10-Performance based option Chapter 11 Ammonium Nitrate Chapter 12 Corrosives Chapter 13 Flammable Solids Chapter 14 Organic Peroxides Chapter 15 Oxidizers Chapter 16 Reserved Chapter 17 Pyrophorics Chapter 18 Toxics Chapter 19 Unstable Reactives Chapter 20 Water Reactives Chapter 21 Compressed Gases Annexes A Explanatory Material Annexes B - I 61

62 NFPA 400 Summary Classifies the hazardous material Provides you with the maximum amount (MAQ) that should be stored in a particular occupancy before requiring special construction requirements. Provides methods for increasing amounts by using special protections such as sprinklers or special storage requirements. (often doubles for each additional feature) Provides storage use and handling requirements for all covered materials. NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

64 Classify hazardous material Determine quantity to be used or stored YES Quantity exceeds MAQ? NO Or gate Apply provisions for protection levels Apply provisions for multiple control areas No special construction features required 64

65 Step One-Classify the Material Example-Unstable Reactives * Class 1 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that in themselves are normally stable, but that can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures * Class 2 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that readily undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures * Class 3 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that in themselves are capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction, but that require a strong initiating source or that must be heated under confinement before initiation * Class 4 Unstable (Reactive). Materials that in themselves are readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures. NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

67 Step Two- Determine the MAQ Allowable amounts per control area are dependent on the occupancy Determine occupancy and go to MAQ table for that occupancy to see if amount exceeds the MAQ Note the MAQ increases with: Sprinkler protection (2x) Storage in approved cabinets, safety cans, ventilated enclosures (2x) Increases applied accumulatively NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

68 Maximum Allowable Quantity (MAQ) Concept THRESHOLD above which you must have special construction (PROTECTION LEVEL) and follow the material specific chapters in NFPA 400. MAQs are dependent on the type of occupancy MAQs can be exceeded just need to follow additional requirements MAQs are given per CONTROL AREA..multiple control areas are allowed NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

70 Step Three- Determine if above or below the MAQ If below MAQ per control area no further requirements in material specific chapters, just the general requirements in Chapters 6-9 apply If above MAQ per control area then must use special construction: Protection Levels 1-5 and the material specific chapters (Chapters 11-21) apply NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

71 NFPA 400 Quantity Requirements In a Nutshell Keep amounts below the (MAQ) per control area OR Construct to appropriate Protection Level and follow the material specific chapters NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

72 Control Area A building or portion of a building or outdoor area within which hazardous materials are allowed to be stored, dispensed, used, or handled in quantities not exceeding the maximum allowable quantities (MAQ). Can have multiple control areas up to a maximum depending on the floor level and fire resistance Control Areas are separated by particular fire resistance: 1 or 2 hours (includes floors, walls, and all supporting construction) NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

Number of Control Areas No control areas allowed lower than Level

74 Control Areas Flammable Solid Storage = MAQ is 125 lb. Sprinkler Protection Provided = Footnote D allows a 100% increase

75 Protection Level Protection Level describes a tier of building safety that exceeds the construction requirements for control areas The MAQ is able to be exceeded due to the increased protective measures associated with the Protection Level provisions imposed The Protection Level required is dependent on the Hazard Level of the contents Protection Level construction allows you to exceed the MAQ NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved.

76 Other Requirements in NFPA 400 for Hazardous Material-Chapters 6-9 Fundamental requirements that apply to all hazardous materials include: Haz-Mat releases Personnel training Ignition source controls Equipment and processes, tanks etc. Shelf construction Separation of incompatibles Additional requirements when above MAQ Fire Protection Systems Egress Dispensing requirements Chapter 7 Emergency planning Chapter 9 Security planning

77 Example of NFPA 400 Application 77

78 Calcium Hypochlorite Industrial Occupancy gallon buckets Used in open containers

79 Classify hazardous material Determine quantity to be used or stored YES Quantity exceeds MAQ? NO Or gate Apply provisions for protection levels Apply provisions for multiple control areas No special construction features required 79

80 What Do I Need to Know to Apply NFPA 400? What is the Material? Calcium Hypochlorite What is the Occupancy? Industrial How is the Material stored? 5 gallon pails in corner of building What is the Amount of Material? ~ 500 gallons in storage 5 gal in use Are there Sprinklers? No What is the building construction? How is the Material used-closed or open use? Open use-1 bucket at a time (5 gal) One open building, single control area

81 Classify the Material G.3.4 Class 3 Oxidizers. The following are typical Class 3 oxidizers: (1) Ammonium dichromate (2) Calcium hypochlorite (over 50 percent by weight unless covered in other formulations in (3) Calcium hypochlorite (over 50 percent by weight) (4) Chloric acid (10 percent maximum concentration) Class 3. An oxidizer that causes a severe increase in the burning rate of combustible materials with which it comes into contact or a solid oxidizer classified as Class 3 when tested in accordance with the test protocol set forth in G.1.

82 Determining MAQ for the Occupancy

83 Amount Exceeds MAQ per Control Area Must go to Protection Level Construction Material is considered a High hazard level 3 as defined in standard so therefore Protection Level 3 construction applies. AND must follow Chapter 15 requirements for Class 3 Oxidizers NFPA.ORG National Fire Protection Association. All rights reserved. 83
