*. Hazardous materials and items
An Emergency Medical Technician team training as rescue (grey suits)
and decontamination (green suits) responders to hazardous material and
toxic contamination situations.
Dangerous goods are solids , liquids , or gases that can harm people,
other living organisms , property, or the environment. They are often
subject to chemical regulations ."HazMat teams" are personnel
specially trained to handle dangerous goods. Dangerous goods include
materials that are radioactive , flammable , explosive , corrosive ,
oxidizing , asphyxiating , biohazardous , toxic , pathogenic , or
allergenic . Also included are physical conditions such as compressed
gases and liquids or hot materials, including all goods containing
such materials or chemicals, or may have other characteristics that
render them hazardous in specific circumstances.
Dangerous goods are often indicated by diamond-shaped signage. The
colours of each diamond in a way has reference to its hazard i.e.:
Flammable = red because fire and heat are generally of red colour,
Explosive = orange, because mixing red (flammable) withyellow
(oxidising agent) creates orange. Non Flammable Non Toxic Gas = green,
due to all compressed air vessels being this colour in France after
World War II. France iswhere the diamond system of HazMat
identification originated.
Mitigating the risks associated withhazardous materials may require
theapplication of safety precautions during their transport , use,
storageand disposal . Most countries regulate hazardous materials by
law, and they are subject to severalinternational treaties as well.
Even so, different countries may use different class diamonds for the
same product. For example, in Australia, Anhydrous Ammonia UN 1005 is
classified as 2.3 (Toxic Gas) with sub risk 8 (Corrosive), whereas in
the U.S. it is only classified as 2.2 (Non Flammable Gas).
People who handle dangerous goodswill often wear protective equipment,
and metropolitan fire departments often have a response team
specifically trained to deal with accidents and spills. Persons who
may come into contact with dangerous goods as part of their work are
also often subject to monitoring or health surveillance to ensure that
their exposure does notexceed occupational exposure limits .
Laws and regulations on the use and handling of hazardous materialsmay
differ depending on the activityand status of the material. For
example, one set of requirements may apply to their use in the
workplace while a different set of requirements may apply to spill
response, sale for consumer use, ortransportation. Most countries
regulate some aspect of hazardous materials.
The most widely applied regulatory scheme is that for the
transportation of dangerous goods. The United Nations Economic and
Social Council issues the UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods , which form the basis for most regional and national
regulatory schemes. For instance, the International Civil Aviation
Organization has developedregulations for air transport of hazardous
materials that are based upon the UN Model but modified to accommodate
unique aspects of air transport. Individual airline and governmental
requirements are incorporated with this by the International Air
Transport Association to produce the widely used IATA Dangerous Goods
Regulations (DGR). [ 1 ] Similarly, the International Maritime
Organization has developed the International Maritime Dangerous Goods
Code ("IMDG Code", part of the International Convention for the Safety
of Life at Sea ) for transportation on the high seas, and the
Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail has
developed the Regulations concerning the International Carriage of
DangerousGoods by Rail ("RID", part of the Convention concerning
InternationalCarriage by Rail). Many individual nations have also
structured their dangerous goods transportation regulations to
harmonize with the UN Model in organization as well as in specific
requirements.
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals (GHS) is an internationally agreed upon system set to
replace the various classification and labeling standards used in
different countries. GHS will use consistent criteria for
classification and labeling on a global level.
Dangerous goods are divided into classes on the basis of the
specificchemical characteristics producing the risk.
Note: The graphics and text in this article representing the dangerous
goods safety marks are derived from the United Nations-based system of
identifying dangerous goods. Not all countries use precisely the same
graphics (label, placard and/or text information) in their national
regulations. Some usegraphic symbols, but without English wording or
with similar wording in their national language. Refer to the
Dangerous Goods Transportation Regulations of the country of interest.
