Read the first 6 Flammable and Combustible Materials Storage flashcards as text

  1. What type of ventilation is required in a flammable liquid storage room?

    Answer: Mechanical exhaust ventilation drawing air from floor level to the outside

    Flammable liquid storage rooms require mechanical exhaust at floor level because flammable vapors are heavier than air and accumulate at low points.

  2. Gasoline-powered equipment on a construction site must be refueled under which conditions?

    Answer: Only while the engine is off and has cooled, away from ignition sources

    Gasoline-powered equipment must only be refueled when the engine is completely shut off and has cooled, as hot engine surfaces can ignite fuel vapors.

  3. What does 'spontaneous combustion' mean in the context of construction materials?

    Answer: Self-ignition of materials due to internal heat generation without an external ignition source

    Spontaneous combustion is self-ignition that occurs when materials generate heat internally through oxidation or bacterial action faster than heat can dissipate.

  4. Which class of flammable liquid presents the greatest fire risk at typical construction site temperatures?

    Answer: Class I liquids with flashpoints below 73°F (like gasoline and solvents)

    Class I liquids produce ignitable vapors at temperatures below 73°F, meaning they are already dangerous at typical indoor construction site temperatures.

  5. What must an F-03 fire guard do upon discovering improperly stored flammable liquids on a construction site?

    Answer: Direct the immediate correction of the storage violation and report it to the site supervisor

    The F-03 fire guard must direct immediate correction of fire hazards within their authority and report violations to the site supervisor.

  6. What information is required on labels of all flammable liquid containers on construction sites?

    Answer: Contents, hazard class, and handling precautions

    All flammable liquid containers must be labeled with the contents, hazard classification, and handling/storage precautions per OSHA HazCom standards.
