ERG Guide
/GUIDE 127 FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (Polar/Water-Miscible)/ Fire or Explosion: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SDS (Safety Data Sheet)?

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a standardized document that provides information about chemical hazards, safe handling, storage, emergency procedures, and transport classification. SDSs follow the GHS (Globally Harmonized System) format with 16 mandatory sections covering identification, hazards, composition, first aid, fire fighting, accidental release, handling, exposure controls, physical properties, stability, toxicology, ecology, disposal, transport, regulatory, and other information.

What do the GHS pictograms mean?

GHS pictograms are standardized hazard symbols: the flame (flammable), exclamation mark (irritant/harmful), skull and crossbones (acute toxicity), corrosion (corrosive), exploding bomb (explosive), flame over circle (oxidizer), gas cylinder (compressed gas), health hazard (serious health effects), and environment (aquatic toxicity). Each pictogram indicates a specific category of hazard.

What is an NFPA diamond?

The NFPA 704 diamond is a color-coded hazard rating system used by emergency responders. Blue = health hazard, Red = flammability, Yellow = instability/reactivity, White = special hazards. Each color section is rated 0 (minimal hazard) to 4 (severe hazard).
