Prevention, control and mitigation of danger-ous conditions related to storage, dispensing, use and han-dling of hazardous Materials shall be in accordance with chapter shall apply to all hazardous Materials , includ-ing those Materials regulated elsewhere in this code, exceptthat when specific requirements are provided in other chap-ters, those specific requirements shall apply in accordancewith the applicable chapter. Where a material has multiplehazards, all hazards shall be :1. In retail or wholesale sales occupancies, the quan-tities of medicines, foodstuffs, consumer or indus-trial products and cosmetics containing not morethan 50 percent by volume of water-miscible liq-uids and with the remainder of the solutions notbeing flammable shall not be limited, providedsuch Materials are packaged in individual contain-ers not exceeding gallons (5 L).

2 2. Quantities of alcoholic beverages in retail orwholesale sales occupancies shall not be limitedproviding the liquids are packaged in individualcontainers not exceeding gallons (5 L).3. Application and release of pesticide and agricul-tural products and Materials intended for use inweed abatement, erosion control, soil amendmentor similar applications when applied in accordancewith the manufacturers instructions and The off-site transportation of hazardous materialswhen in accordance with Department of Transpor-tation (DOTn) Building Materials not otherwise regulated by Refrigeration systems (see Section 606).7. Stationary storage battery systems regulated bySection The display, storage, sale or use of fireworks andexplosives in accordance with Chapter utilized in personal and householdproducts in the manufacturers original consumerpackaging in Group M The storage of distilled spirits and wines inwooden barrels and The use of wall-mounted dispensers containingalcohol-based hand rubs classified as Class I or IIliquids when in accordance with Section Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) , through and and administered under OregonAdministrative Rules (OAR).

3 Waiver. The provisions of this chapter arewaived when the fire code official determines that suchenforcement is preempted by other codes, statutes or ordi-nances. The details of any action granting such a waivershall be recorded and entered in the files of the codeenforcement material classification. hazardous Materials arethose chemicals or substances defined as such in this of hazardous Materials shall apply to all hazard-ous Materials , including those Materials regulated elsewherein this Mixtures. Mixtures shall be classified in accor-dance with hazards of the mixture as a whole. Mixtures ofhazardous Materials shall be classified in accordance withnationally recognized reference standards.

5 hazardous Materials shall beclassified according to hazard categories. The categoriesinclude Materials regulated by this chapter and materialsregulated elsewhere in this Physical hazards. The material categorieslisted in this section are classified as physical material with a primary classification as a physicalhazard can also pose a health and blasting Flammable solids, liquids and Organic peroxide solids or Oxidizer, solids or Oxidizing Pyrophoric solids, liquids or Unstable (reactive) solids, liquids or Water-reactive Materials solids or Health hazards. The material categorieslisted in this section are classified as health hazards. Amaterial with a primary classification as a health haz-ard can also pose a physical Highly toxic and toxic Performance-based design alternative.

6 Whenapproved by the fire code official, buildings and facilitieswhere hazardous Materials are stored, used or handled shallbe permitted to comply with this section as an alternative tocompliance with the other requirements set forth in this chap-ter and Chapters 51 through Objective. The objective of Section is toprotect people and property from the consequences ofunauthorized discharge, fires or explosions involving haz-ardous Functional statements. Performance-baseddesign alternatives are based on the following functionalstatements:1. Provide safeguards to minimize the risk of unwantedreleases, fires or explosions involving Provide safeguards to minimize the consequences ofan unsafe condition involving hazardous materialsduring normal operations and in the event of anabnormal Performance requirements.

7 When safeguards,systems, documentation, written plans or procedures,audits, process hazards analysis, mitigation measures,engineering controls or construction features are requiredby Sections through , the details ofthe design alternative shall be subject to approval by thefire code official. The details of actions granting the use ofthe design alternatives shall be recorded and entered in thefiles of the Properties of hazardous Materials . Thephysical- and health-hazard properties of hazardousmaterials on site shall be known and shall be madereadily available to employees, neighbors and the firecode Reliability of equipment and and operations involving hazardous materi-als shall be designed, installed and maintained toensure that they reliably operate as Prevention of unintentional reaction orrelease.

8 Safeguards shall be provided to minimize therisk of an unintentional reaction or release that couldendanger people or Spill mitigation. Spill containment systemsor means to render a spill harmless to people or prop-erty shall be provided where a spill is determined to bea plausible event and where such an event wouldendanger people or Ignition hazards. Safeguards shall be pro-vided to minimize the risk of exposing combustiblehazardous Materials to unintended sources of Protection of hazardous Materials . Safe-guards shall be provided to minimize the risk of expos-ing hazardous Materials to a fire or physical damagewhereby such exposure could endanger or lead to theendangerment of people or Exposure hazards.

9 Safeguards shall beprovided to minimize the risk of and limit damage froma fire or explosion involving explosive hazardous mate-rials whereby such fire or explosion could endanger orlead to the endangerment of people or Detection of gas or vapor release. Where arelease of hazardous Materials gas or vapor wouldcause immediate harm to persons or property, means ofmitigating the dangerous effects of a release shall Reliable power source. Where a powersupply is relied upon to prevent or control an emer-gency condition that could endanger people or prop-erty, the power supply shall be from a reliable Ventilation. Where ventilation is neces-sary to limit the risk of creating an emergency condi-tion resulting from normal or abnormal operations,means of ventilation shall be Process hazard analyses.

10 Process hazardanalyses shall be conducted to ensure reasonably theprotection of people and property from dangerous con-ditions involving hazardous Pre-startup safety review. Written docu-mentation of pre-startup safety review procedures shallbe developed and enforced to ensure that operations areinitiated in a safe manner. The process of developingand updating such procedures shall involve the partici-pation of affected Page 296 Thursday, January 30, 2014 11:18 AMHAZARDOUS Materials GENERAL PROVISIONS2014 OREGON FIRE Operating and emergency documentation of operating procedures andprocedures for emergency shut down shall be devel-oped and enforced to ensure that operations are con-ducted in a safe manner.
