White phosphorus, Silane • Goods which develop fire- • hazardous gas on contact with water Ex. Sodium • OxidizinggoodsEx. Hydrogen peroxide, ammonium nitrate • OrganicperoxidesEx. Hardener for two component systems • (plastic padding) •  and more… • More information is available at: • https://www.msb.se/sv/Forebyggande/Brandfarligt--explosivt/Brandreaktiva-varor/

  10. Flammableproducts - properties Labellingaccordingto ADR (for transport) Substances which emit flammable gases on contact with water Oxidizers Organic peroxides Flammable liquids Flammable solids, self-reactive substances and solid desensitized explosives. Substances liable to spontaneous combustion Gases (flammable) Gases, non-toxic or flammable gases

  11. Handling flammable materials – what does it mean? • Manufacturing • Packing • Use • Destruction • Assignment • Processing • Storage • Disposal • Marketing/Selling • “And comparable procedures" • Treatment • Transportation • Recycling • Maintenance

  12. Handling flammable materials Do not store strong oxidizing agents with oxidizable substances OxidizingFlammable

  13. Handling flammable materials Chemicals may not be stored with combustible materials and gas cylinders

  14. Handling flammable materials • Anyone who conducts handling of flammable materials shall appoint one or more (usually two) director of flammable products. • Director of flammable products should be reported to the regional fire security department while the director of the explosives must be approved by the municipality. • The regional fire security department is the supervisory review of existing permits and supervision of explosives. • Information from MSB regarding you as the operator can be read about at: • https://www.msb.se/sv/Forebyggande/Brandfarligt--explosivt/Ny-lag-brandfarliga-och-explosiva-varor/Vad-innebar-den-nya-lagen/Sa-berors-verksamhetsutovarna/
