1. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING FLAMMABLES AND CHEMICALS
2.0 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STORING FLAMMABLES AND CHEMICALS
The storage of chemicals, flammable substances and gases is the subject of many regulations. Some substances must be stored outside away from buildings. Others can be stored inside but are sometimes subjected to quantity limits. We would always recommend that you should seek the advice of the Health and Safety Inspectorate, your local Fire Officer, Trading Standards Office or any other qualified body.
This Act is concerned with securing the health, safety and welfare of people at work and with protecting those who are not at work from risks to their health and safety arising from work activities. The Act and its relevant statutory provisions also deal with controlling the storage and use of explosives and highly flammable or otherwise dangerous substances. The general duties in sections 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 of this Act apply to all the work activities which are the subject of this guidance book. The Act is enforced either by HSE or by local authorities as determined by the Health and Safety (Enforcing Authority) Regulations 1989. Guidance on the Act is contained in an HSE publication entitled A guide to the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992
These Regulations require all employers and self-employed persons to assess the risks to workers and others who may be affected by their undertakings so that they can decide what measures need to be taken to fulfill their statutory obligations. These Regulations also require an assessment to decide on appropriate health and safety arrangements, health surveillance, emergency planning, and the provision of information and training. An Approved Code of Practice gives guidance on the provisions of these Regulations. Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972
These Regulations apply when liquids which have a flashpoint of less than 32°C and which support combustion (when tested in the prescribed manner) are present at premises subject to the Factories Act 1961. The Regulations include provisions for these highly flammable liquids relating to:
precautions to be taken during storage; precautions to be taken against spills and leaks; controls for sources of ignition in areas where accumulations of vapours might occur; means to prevent the escape of vapours; dispersal of dangerous concentrations of vapours; controls on smoking.
An exception to the storage requirements of these Regulations applies where a petroleum license is in force. Highly flammable liquids defined by these Regulations are included in the scope of this guidance document. Factories Act 1961
The Act defines a 'factory' and contains many general and detailed provisions relating to work activities in factories. Section 31(3) contains specific requirements relating to the opening of plant that contains any explosive or inflammable gas or vapour under pressure, and Section 31 (4) contains specific requirements relating to the application of heat to plant that has contained any explosive or inflammable substance. 'Inflammable' means able to burn with a flame and 'flammable' is generally taken to have the same meaning as 'inflammable'. Inflammable substances and vapours will include flammable liquids and their vapours as defined in this guidance document.
The Act defines petroleum and petroleum spirit and requires the keeping of such liquids (except for small specified quantities) to be authorised by a license, and to be in accordance with any conditions of the license. The Petroleum (Mixtures) Order 1929 extends these requirements to petroleum mixtures which are defined in the Order. Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) regulations 1994
These Regulations, commonly referred to as the CHIPS Regulations, contain requirements for the supply of chemicals. The Regulations require the supplier of chemicals to:
classify them, that is, identify their hazards; give information about the hazards to the people they supply, both in the form of labels and safety data sheets; package the chemicals safely.
Classifying chemicals according to the CHIPS Regulations requires knowledge of physical and chemical properties, including the flashpoints of liquids, and of health and environmental effects. Chemicals are grouped into three categories of danger, according to their flashpoints:
extremely flammable - those liquids with a flashpoint lower than 0°C and a boiling point lower than or equal to 35°C; highly flammable - liquids which have a flashpoint below 21°C but are not extremely flammable; flammable liquids - liquids which have a flashpoint equal to or greater than 21°C and less than or equal to 55°C and which support combustion when tested in the prescribed manner at 55°C.
Flammable, highly flammable and extremely flammable liquids "are all included in the scope of this guidance book. The Regulations are supported by an Approved supply list containing agreed classifications for some common substances, an approved classification and labeling guide, an Approved Code of Practice on safety data sheets and by the guidance publication CHIP 2 for everyone. Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (Classification, Packaging and Labeling) Regulations 1994
These Regulations apply to the transportation of dangerous goods by road and rail. Their aim is to reduce the hazards involved in transporting such substances by requiring them to be correctly classified, and packaged and labelled according to that classification. They specify that dangerous substances should be carried in suitable containers which will not leak under normal handling; these should bear appropriate warning labels giving information on the nature of the hazards. Two associated documents, the Approved carriage list and the Approved methods for the classification and packaging of dangerous goods for carriage by road and rail provide assistance to enable compliance with these Regulations. Flammable liquids classified as dangerous substances by these Regulations are those liquids which have a flashpoint of 61°C or below (with certain exceptions based on their combustibility) or liquids with a flashpoint above 61°C carried at temperatures above their flashpoint. Flammable liquids defined in this guidance will be included in the scope of these Regulations. Road Traffic (Carriage of Dangerous Substances in Road Tankers and Tank Containers) Regulations 1992 and the Road Traffic (Carriage of Dangerous Substances in Packages etc) Regulations 1992
These Regulations complement the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (Classification, Packaging and Labelling) Regulations 1994. Their provisions include requirements for:
the construction of vehicles; information to be received by operators and to be given to drivers; the marking of vehicles; the loading, stowage and unloading of consignments.
Dangerous substances are those materials included in the Approved Carriage List produced in association with the 1994 Regulations or with the characteristic properties defined in Schedule 1 of those Regulations or Schedule 1 of the road tanker Regulations. The 1992 road tanker Regulations define a flammable liquid as having a flashpoint of 55°C and below, but these will be revised to bring the classification into line with the above 1994 carriage Regulations. Flammable liquids defined in this guidance will be included in the scope of these Regulations. Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
These Regulations impose requirements for electrical systems and equipment, including work activities on or near electrical equipment. They also require electrical equipment which is exposed to any flammable or explosive substance, including flammable liquids or vapours, to be constructed or protected so as to prevent danger. Advice is available in HS(R)2530. Notification of Installations Handling Hazardous Substances Regulations 1982
These Regulations require premises with specified quantities of particular substances, such as 10 000 tonnes or more of flammable liquids with a flashpoint of less than 21°C to be notified to HSE. Following the Planning (Hazardous Substances) Act 1990 and Regulations 1992. the presence of NIHHS Schedule 1 substances and quantities, together with some from CIMAH Schedule 347, on, over or under land requires consent from hazardous substances authorities. Similar provisions also apply in Scotland.
These Regulations apply at two levels to certain premises where specified quantities of particular substances are stored or used, such as flammable liquids with a flashpoint below 21°C and a boiling point (at normal pressure) above 20°C. The main aim of these Regulations is to prevent major accidents occurring; a secondary objective is to limit the effects of any which do happen. A major accident is a major emission, fire or explosion resulting from uncontrolled developments which leads to serious danger to people or the environment. The first level requirements apply at premises where 5000 tonnes or more of flammable liquids, as defined above, are involved in certain industrial activities, including processing operations and storage. The second level requirements apply where 50 000 tonnes or more of flammable liquids are involved. The general requirements apply at both levels and require the person in control of the industrial activity to demonstrate that the major accident hazards have been identified and that the activity is being operated safely. The additional requirements that apply at the second level include the submission of a written safety report, preparation of an on-site emergency plan and provision of certain information for the public. HS(R)21 gives guidance on these Regulations.
These Regulations require employers to assess the risks arising from hazardous substances at work and to decide on the measures needed to protect the health of employees. The employer is also required to take appropriate action to prevent or adequately control exposure to the hazardous substance. Substances covered by the Regulations include carcinogenic substances and those which, under the Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 1994, are labelled as very toxic, toxic, harmful, corrosive or irritant. The Regulations also cover dusts, where present in substantial quantities, and those substances assigned occupational exposure limits. Flammable liquids
normally have toxic or harmful properties which bring them within the scope of these Regulations.
Safety Signs Regulations 1980
These Regulations contain requirements for safety signs giving health and safety information or instructions to people at work (except for certain circumstances described in the Regulations) to comply with Part 1 of BS 5378. A Safety Signs Directive (92/58/EEC) to be implemented by European Community Member States will result in these Regulations being replaced by the new Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations. The Directive lays down a requirement to provide, maintain and use a sign when risk assessment has indicated the need for a sign to warn of a hazard that cannot be prevented or controlled effectively by other means. Annexes I to VII of the Directive contain details of appropriate signs. Generally, the signs that are included in BS 5378 will meet the requirements of the Directive.
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 199262
These Regulations implement a European Community Directive and aim to ensure the provision of safe work equipment and its safe use. They include general duties covering the selection of suitable equipment, maintenance, information, instructions and training, and they also address the need for equipment to be able to control selected hazards. Regulation 12 is particularly relevant to equipment associated with flammable liquids. It requires employers to ensure that people using work equipment are not exposed to hazards arising from:
equipment catching fire or overheating; the unintended or premature discharge of any liquid or vapour; the unintended or premature explosion of the work equipment or any substance used or stored in it
Guidance on these Regulations is available in an HSE publication entitled Work equipment.
This Act controls what have become known as the 'General Fire Precautions', covering the means of escape in case of fire, the means for ensuring the escape routes can be used safely and effectively, the means for fighting fires, and the means for giving warning in the case of fire; and the training of staff in fire safety. The Act allows the presence of flammable liquids to be taken into account when considering general fire precautions. The Act is enforced by the Fire Authorities and further guidance can be found in a Home Office publication entitled Guide to fire precautions in existing places of work that require a fire certificate - factories, offices, shops and railway premises.
These Regulations apply at premises where certain quantities of hazardous materials are processed, used or stored. For flammable liquids they apply at premises where there is a total of more than 4000 tonnes of any highly flammable liquid (as defined by the Highly Flammable Liquids and Liquefied Petroleum Gases Regulations 1972) or more than 50 tonnes of any highly flammable liquid held under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure and at a temperature above its boiling point. Where these Regulations apply they take the place of the Fire Precautions Act 1971 and designate HSE as the enforcing authority for matters relating to general fire precautions.
The purpose of these Regulations is to assist the fire-fighting services by the provision of advance and on-site information on sites containing large quantities of dangerous substances. The Regulations apply at sites containing total quantities of 25 tonnes or more of dangerous substances. Dangerous substances include flammable liquids with a flashpoint below 55°C as defined by this guidance document. The Regulations require suitable signs to be erected at access points and at any locations specified by an inspector, and notification to the appropriate fire and enforcing authorities of the presence of any dangerous substances. HS(R)29 gives further guidance.
