Everyday Hazmat User’s Training Guide
Long Description
This image illustrates the floor plan to be used when storing flammable liquid outdoors and describes the requirements to be used for storage. These requirements are described as follows:
- No more than 1,100 gallons of class IA, 2,200 gallons of class IB, or 4,400
gallons of class IC flammable liquids may be stored in containers (vessels
with a capacity of 60 gallons or less). If a group includes more than one
class of flammable liquids, use the maximum of the lowest class. You may
store twice as much of each class of flammable liquid if you use portable
tanks. According to the Uniform Fire Code, a portable tank is any packaging
with more than 60 gallons capacity designed primarily to be loaded on or
temporarily attached to a vehicle and equipped with accessories to allow
the
tank to be handled by mechanical
means.
- Groups no closer than 10 feet to an alley, gravel road,
street, or highway.
- Proper fire extinguisher
within 30 feet of each
group
- Groups no closer than 50 feet to a structure (inhabited
or uninhabited), with the gradient sloping away from building.
- Groups no closer than 50 feet to a property line if protected by
a public fire department or private fire brigade; otherwise, no closer than
100 feet.
- Remove weeds
and combustibles
within 15 feet of
each group.
- No closer than 5 feet between groups.
