Hazard class knowledge - CORRECT ANSWER-As a HAZMAT employee, knowing the hazard class
and what they are capable of doing allows you to safety transport or store hazardous materials.
First responders must know the hazard class to correctly respond to the type of emergency (gas,
liquid, explosive, etc.) With this information, they can safely control and contain a HAZMAT
accident and protect the public.
What could happen when hazardous materials that react dangerously when in contact with
each other are transported together? - CORRECT ANSWER-Possible Hazards
Because of the nature of hazardous materials, if they come in contact with each other, they are
capable of producing other hazards
i.e. when bleach and ammonia come in contact with each other, they produce a toxic vapor
(which is an inhalation hazard).
Hazard Class Division - CORRECT ANSWER-Some hazard classes are separated into divisions.
These divisions identify the different types of hazard within a hazard class. For example, HC 1
(explosives) can have hazards such as fragmentation or fire in the addition to exploding
Learn more HC Division - CORRECT ANSWER-HC 1
1.1 Mass explosion hazard (bombs, 155 projectile)
, 1.2 Fragmentation hazard (some grenades and 105mm cartridges)
1.3 Fire hazard (propellant, artillery charges)
1.4 Minor explosion hazard (small arms ammunition, smoke grenades)
1.5 Very intensive explosives (blasting agents)
1.6 Extremely intensive explosives (no mass explosive hazard)
HC2
2.1 Flammable gases (acetylene, butane, hydrogen)
2.2 Non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gases (helium, nitrogen, and neon)
2.3 Gases poisonous by inhalation (chlorine, ammonia anhydrous, carbon monoxide)
HC 3
Materials that ignite easily. This is due to flash point. A flash point is the temperature at which a
material gives off enough vapor to ignite. (fuel aviation turbine engine (JP-8), gasoline, and
some alcohol beverages)
HC 4
4.1 Flammable solids that catch fire easily (safety or strike anywhere matches)
4.2 Spontaneously combustible materials that can catch fire without a separate heat source
(charcoal briquettes, linseed oil)
4.3 Dangerous when wet materials (materials that can explode or emit flammable gas when in
contact with water)
i.e. potassium, sodium, MRE heaters
HC 5
5.1 Oxidizer: materials that does not burn on its own, but gives off oxygen, which could cause
other materials to burn
i.e. ammonium nitrate fertilizer, hydrogen peroxide
5.2 Organic peroxide (liquid or solid) that contain oxygen
i.e. polyester resin kits used to patch vehicle tires or repair boats
HC 6
6.1 Poisonous materials (liquid or solid) so toxic to humans that it is a hazard to health
