Using one of the chemicals as an example here:
I have an HMIS listing Liquichlor, a corrosive liquid. It indicates that there is no IFC physical hazard. The MSDS lists it as a category 1 physical hazard, noting it is corrosive to metals. The material list in the IFC and IBC do not list "corrosives" as a physical hazard. How do I treat this? It seems the HMIS has it correct, but do I ignore the MSDS. I don't usually get into this since the FD does so I am outside of my normal wheel-house here, but I feel like I should understand it better.
There are 3 chemicals listed, the first two show as a corrosive with no physical hazard, the third shows neither a health or physical hazard:
Liquichlor
Hydrochloric Acid
Soda Ash
Are the MAQ's in t307.1(2) per each individual chemical, or combined? Footnote b indicates combined but the HMIS shows quantities in storage (closed) for the two combined greater than the table would allow. I think I found this answer since the building is sprinklered.
In general, I am having trouble relating any of the MSDS information to the "Material" column in the MAQ tables.
Any help??
