GUIDE FOR NEW PROJECT iAK.-TY REVIEW
This outline has been prepared as a reference and j-.iicc r. completing new project safety reviews.
1. PROVIDE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OP HAZARDS OP PROCEoS ANALYSIS OF RAW MATERIALS
A. Flammability:
What are the flammability properties?
What la the flash point, fire point, explosive range, auto-lgnltlon temperature?
What la the auaoeptablllty to apontaneoua heating?
What la th apaeiflc gravity, vapor density, melting point, boiling point?
Ia material.mleolblle with water? What la ths vlicomlty? '
B. Stability:

What ara the stability properties according to the followfiUnCg d<Jceff^^tilip^naoandi'^cllMasssiiffliecaatlion?
U)
dtabilliy `'W ,tb quality of a material to resist exathermla.oYisaloal change. stability implies resistance td decomposition, polymerization or Condensation, tuto-oxldatlon-reductlon, changer Which lnyolw* tha material alone, or in the presenoe of catalysts, autoreaction.
(2) Classification:
a. Normally stable and not reactive with water.
b. Will undergo chemical change slowly at elevated temperatures or pressures.

What la the effect of foreign contamination on the violence of reaction?
Are aide producta or gasses formed during accidental contamination with water, solvents, acid, others?
Are facilities adequate for handling 3uch side reactions?
What are the consequences of a wrong proportion of reactants?
Are process piping and controls properly installed to prevent a mixture of wrong chemicals''
What means are provided to control the reaction?
What means are there of disposing of reactants in the event of an emergency?
What would be the hazard of sewered siaterlals during normal operations or during an emergency1'
