HAZMAT



Classes of HAZMAT



Class 1 - Explosives

1.1 Mass explosion hazard(dynamite, TNT)

1.2 Projection hazard(aerial flares, detonating cord)

1.3 Predominately a fire hazard(liquid fueled rocket motors, propellant explosives)

1.4 No significant blast hazard(practice ammunition, signal cartridges)

1.5 Very insensitive explosives; blasting agents

(pilled ammonium nitrate fertilizer-fuel oil mixtures)1.6 Extremely insensitive detonating substances

(items with a negligible probability of accidental initiation orpropagation)



Class 2 - Gases

2.1 Flammable gases(methyl chloride, propane)

2.2 Non-flammable compressed gases(anhydrous ammonia, carbon dioxide, compressednitrogen)

2.3 Poisonous gases(chlorine, arsine, methyl bromide)



Class 3 – Flammable and CombustibleLiquids

Flammable - Flashpointat

or below 60oC (140oF)

(acetone, gasoline)

Combustible – Flashpointabove 60oC (140oF) and

below 93 °C (200 °F)(No. 6 fuel oil, mineral oil)



Class 4 – Flammable Solids

4.1 Flammable Solids

(magnesium pellets, nitrocellulose)

4.2 Spontaneously Combustible

(charcoal briquettes, phosphorous)

4.3 Dangerous When Wet

(magnesium powder, sodium hydride)



Class 5 – Oxidizing Agents & Organic Peroxides

5.1 Oxidizers

(ammonium nitrate, calciumhypochlorite)

5.2 Organic Peroxides

(dibenzoyl peroxide, peroxyacetic acid)



Class 6 – Toxic & Infectious Substances

6.1 Toxic or Poison(arsenic compounds, carbon tetrachloride, tear gas)

6.2 Infectious Substance (Etiologic Agent)(anthrax, botulism, rabies, tetanus)



Class 7 – Radioactive Materials

Examplescobalt

uranium hexafluoride

“yellow cake”



Class 8 – Corrosive Materials

Examples

Acids

(nitric acid, sulfuric acid, batteries)

Alkalis(sodium hydroxide)



Class 9 – Miscellaneous HazardousMaterials

ExamplesLithium batteries

Hot liquid asphalt

PCBs

Molten sulfur

A material which presents a hazardduring transportation but which

does not meet the definition of any

other hazard class, including:

Elevated Temperature MaterialHazardous Substance

Hazardous Waste

Disposal Procedures

Waste generator must apply in writing to the Environmental Protection and Safety Section using theprescribed application form available free from EPSS office.

The submitted application must include documents containing the following data:

1. a brief description of how the waste was generated;

2. an MSDS in the case of a pure substance and/or an

analytical report on the nature of the waste prepared by a Dubai licensed laboratory ;

3. documents showing proof of date of its importation and other relevant data in the case of a waste

Waste generators must submit 1 original plus 4 copies of the application form and 2 copies of supportingdocuments.

Once an application is approved the waste generator will be notified and required to pay a disposal fee toDubai Municipality. Instructions as to how the waste will be disposed off will be stated in the approval note.

Approved waste must then be transported to the approved disposal site by the waste generator or itsauthorized transported. The approval paper and pertinent documents must be carried with the waste material

while in transit and lodges at the disposal site.

Certificates of destruction can be provided once a stamped copy of the disposal note is presented to the EPSS.
