53. FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS

A. GENERAL

This procedure provides standard methods to Contractor for handling and storing flammable and
combustible liquids.

B. DEFINITIONS

1. Flammable Liquids

A flammable liquid is any liquid having a flashpoint below 37.8C (100F). Flammable liquids
will be known as Class 1 Liquids. Class 1 liquids are divided into three (3) categories as follows:

1A: Liquids having a flashpoint less than 22.8C (73F) and a boiling point below 37.8C
(100F).
1B: Liquids having a flashpoint less than 22.8C (73F) and a boiling point at or above 37.8C
(100F)..
1C: Liquids having a flashpoint at or above 22.8C (73F) and a boiling point below 37.8C
(100F).

2. Combustible Liquids

A combustible liquid is any liquid having a flashpoint at or about 37.8C (100F).

Combustible liquids are divided into two (2) categories as follows:

II: Liquids having a flashpoint above 37.8C (100F) and less than 60C (140F).
III: Liquids having a flashpoint at or above 60C (140F).

Category III liquids are subdivided as follows:

IIIA: Liquids having a flashpoint at or above 60C (140F) but below 93.3C (200F).
IIIB: Liquids having a flashpoint at or above below 93.3C (200F).

3. Safety Can

A safety can is an approved container of not more than 20 liters (five-gallon) capacity having a
spring-closing lid and spout cover that has been designed so that it will safely relieve internal
pressure when subjected to fire exposure. Safety cans are normally equipped with a safety valve.

C. STORAGE

Only approved containers and portable tanks will be used for storage of flammable or combustible
liquids. No more than 100leters (25 gallons) will be stored in a room outside of a storage cabinet. Storage
cabinets will labeled with conspicuous lettering. "FLAMMABLE - KEEP FIRE AWAY."

Not more than 227 liters (60 gallons) of flammable or 454 liters (120 gallons) of combustible liquids will
be stored in any one storage cabinet or container. Not more than three (3) such cabinets may be located in
a single storage area. Materials that react with water to create a fire hazard will not be stored with
flammable or combustible liquids. Outside portable tank storage will be located no closer than 6 meters
(20 feet) to any building. Tanks and dispensing units will be protected against collision damage.

Storage areas will be kept free of weeds, debris, and combustible material not necessary to the
storage. Dispensing units will be protected against collision damage. Tanks and containers

should be conspicuously marked with the name of the product they contain and "FLAMMABLE
- KEEP FIRE AWAY." "No Smoking" signs will be posted in hazardous areas. Approved smoking
areas will be designated and properly posted.

Static grounding lines are to be provided for all storage containers

D. HANDLING

Transfer of flammable liquids from one container to another will be done only when containers are
electrically interconnected (bonded). Drawing or transferring will be done only through a closed piping
system from safety cans by means of a device drawing through the top or by gravity or pump through an
approved self-closing valve. Transferring by means of air pressure prohibited.

Dispensing devices and nozzles for flammable liquids will be of the approved type. Flammable and
combustible liquids will not be used within 15 meters (50 feet) of open flame or other source of ignition.
"No smoking" signs will be posted in appropriate areas. Flammable and combustible liquids will be kept
in closed containers when not actually in use.

E. DISPOSAL

Disposal of flammable and combustible liquids will be in accordance with governing EPA requirements.

F. FIRE CONTROL

At least one (1) portable fire extinguisher having a rating of not less than 20B will be located outside of,
but not more than 10 feet from, the door of the room used for storage of more than 60 gallons of liquid.
At least one (1) portable fire extinguisher having a rating of not less than 20B will be located not less than
8 meters (25 feet) or more than 20meters (75 feet) from any flammable liquid storage area.

At least one (1) portable fire extinguisher having a rating of not less than 20B:C will be provided on any
vehicle loading, transporting, or dispensing flammable or combustible liquids; in all service and refueling
areas; and within 20 meters (75 feet) of each pump or dispenser.
