FOREWORD

The Oil Industry in India is more than 100 years old. As such, a variety of practices have been in vogue because of collaboration / association with different foreign companies and governments. Standardisation in design philosophies and operating and maintenance practices at a national level was hardly in existence. This, coupled with feed back from some serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad, emphasised the need for the industry to review the existing state-of-the-art in designing, operating and maintaining oil and gas installations. With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a Safety Council assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) staffed from within the industry for formulating and implementing a series of self regulatory measures aimed at removing obsolescence, standardising and upgrading the existing standards to ensure safer operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of technical committees comprising of experts nominated from the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects. The present document “Safe Handling of Hazardous Chemicals ” was prepared by the Committee constituted for this purpose. This document was prepared based on the accumulated experience and knowledge of industry members, and various national and international codes and practices. This document will be reviewed periodically for improvements based on the new experiences and better understanding. Suggestions from industry members may be addressed to:

1.0 INTRODUCTION In the Petroleum and Natural Gas Production and Processing Industry, a number of hazardous chemicals are required to be stored and handled in appreciable quantities. In view of the stringent product quality requirement, various complex processes are introduced involving the handling of hazardous chemicals. Some additives are sometimes introduced to meet the quality requirement of various petroleum products. These chemicals pose various types of hazards like flammability, toxicity, explosivity, corrosivity etc. Inadequate awareness about the hazardous properties of these chemicals and products may lead to serious accidents which will affect the men at work and the environment . The present standard will help in facilitating the safe storage and handling of hazardous chemicals and in avoiding accidents and occupational diseases. 2.0 SCOPE This standard deals with the hazardous chemicals used in Petroleum and Natural Gas exploration, production, processing, storage and transportation facilities, petrochemicals manufacturing and additives for lubricating oil blending & markers for checking the adultration in products like kerosene in motor spirit etc. This standard does not include hazardous chemicals namely chemical dust, laboratory chemicals and radioactive materials and also hazardous waste generated during the process of manufacture. The safety data sheets appended as schedule 1 have been prepared as per the proforma given in Schedule 9 of Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989. 3.0 DEFINITION 3.1 SYNONYMS: For common chemicals, several chemical names and numerous trade names may be applied to describe the chemical in question In synonyms field, many of these names are identified to aid users on the range of names which have been used to describe each substance. 3.2 CAS NO. : Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number is a numeric designation assigned by American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts Service and uniquely identifies a specific chemical compound. This entry allows one to conclusively identify a material regardless of the name or naming system used. 3.3 UN NUMBER: The united nations number is a four figure code used to identify hazardous chemicals and is used for identification of chemicals transported internally by road, rail and by air. 3.4 Hazardous Waste ID. No. : This means the categories of wastes specified in the schedule in The Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008. 3.5 FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS (i) Flammable Gases : Gases which at 20oC and at standard pressure of 101.3 KPa are:

11

(a) ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air, or ; (b) have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the

lower flammable limits.

Note: The flammability shall be determined by tests or by calculation in accordance with methods adopted by International Standards Organisation ISO Number 10156 of 1990 or by Bureau of Indian Standard ISI Number 1446 of 1985.

(ii) Extremely flammable liquids : Chemicals which have been flash point lower than or equalt to 23oC and boiling point less than 35oC.

(iii) Very highly flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point lower than or

equal to 23oC and initial boiling point higher than 35oC. (iv) Highly flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point lower than or equal

to 60oC but higher than 23oC. (v) Flammable liquids : Chemicals which have a flash point higher than 60oC but lower

than 90oC. 3.6 FLAMMABLE (EXPLOSIVE) LIMIT AND RANGE In the case of gases or vapour, which form flammable mixtures with air, there is a minimum concentration of vapour in air below which the propagation of flame does not occur in contact with a source of ignition. This is called Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). Similarly, there is a maximum concentration of vapour above which the propagation of flame does not occur on contact with a source of ignition. This is called Upper Explosive Limit (UEL). This range of minimum to maximum concentration is termed as Flammable (Explosive) range. The flammable limits are not appreciably changed by normal variations in atmospheric pressure and temperature. However, at high temperatures, the upper limit is raised and the lower limit lowered, resulting in greater flammable or explosive range. The effect of high pressures on the limits is different for each gas or vapour depending upon its nature. 3.7 TDG FLAMMABILITY Transport of dangerous goods flammability is used in Canada and is based on Classification of dangerous goods by UN Committee of experts on transport of danger goods. The classes indicated are 2, 3, 4 and 5 which are same as indicated in The Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989. 3.8 FLASH POINT The minimum temperature at which the liquid gives so much vapour that this vapour, when mixed with air, forms an ignitable mixture and gives a momentary flash on application of a small pilot flame under specified conditions of test.

12

3.9 AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE The lowest temperature at which ignition occurs in a mixture of explosive gas and air when the method specified in IS: 7820-1975 is followed.

3.10 EXPLOSIVES Explosives mean a solid or liquid or pyrotechnic substance (or a mixture of substances) or an article. (a) Which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature

and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. (b) which is designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a

combination of these as the result of non-detonative self sustaining exothermic chemical reaction.

3.11 CORROSIVE CHEMICALS Chemicals, which will cause damage to the living tissue and/or chemically attack metallic containers and structures are corrosive chemicals. 3.12 OXIDISING SUBSTANCES (OXIDISER): Oxidising substances are those substances which readily give of oxygen or other oxidiging substances (such as bromine, chrolone or florine). They also include materials that react chemically to oxidize combustible materials; this means that oxygen combines chemically with the other material in a way that increases the chance of fire or explosion. This reaction may be spontaneous at either room temperature or may occur under slight heating. These materials can be severe fire and explosion hazards. 3.13 PYROPHORIC SUBSTANCES Chemicals which are so reactive that on contact with air and its moisture, oxidation/ hydrolysis occurs at such a rate so as to cause ignition, i.e. its auto ignition temperature is below the room temperature. Some of these reactions liberate flammable gases. 3.14 ORGANIC PEROXIDES Organic peroxide means an organic compound that contains the bivalent –o-o- structure and which may be considered to be a structural derivative of hydrogen peroxide where one or both of hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an organic radical. 3.15 TOXIC CHEMICALS Toxicity is the degree to which a substance is able to damage an exposed organism. Chemicals having the following values of acute toxicity and which owing to their physical & chemical properties, are capable of producing major accident hazards :

13

ORAL TOXICITY DERMAL TOXICITY INHALATION TOXICITY

Medium lethal dose Medium lethal dose Medium lethal concentration by oral route (oral toxicity) by the dermal route by inhalation route (four hrs.)

LD50 (mg/kg body (dermal toxicity)LD50 LC50 ( mg/l inhalation in weight of test animals) (mg/kg body weight test animals)

of test animals) 1. Extremely toxic < 5 < 40 < 0.5 2. Highly toxic 5-50 > 40 - 200 0.5-2.0 3. Toxic > 50 – 200 >200 – 1000 > 2 - 10 3.16 INCOMPATIBLE CHEMICALS These are chemical substances which in contact with each other cause hazardous reactions which may be violent or produce toxic materials. 3.17 TLV (THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE)

The term refers to concentrations of air contaminants in the working environment to which it is believed, nearly all workers may be exposed repeatedly day after day without adverse effect. Normally, it is the time weighted average concentration in ppm or gm/m3 for a normal 8-hour work day or 40 hour workweek. Excursions above this limit may occur if they are compensated during the workday, by equivalent excursion below the limit. 3.18 STEL (SHORT TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT) It is defined as a 15 minutes time weighted average exposure, which should not be exceeded at any time during a workday even if the 8 hours time weighted average is within the TLV. Exposure at the STEL should not be longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than four times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes interval between successive exposures at the STEL. An averaging period other than 15 minutes may be recommended when this is warranted by observed biological effects. 4.0 EXPLANATORY NOTES

4.1 NFPA (704M) PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION OF HAZARD NFPA pictorial representations consist of a diamond as shown in the figure below, divided into 4 parts. These parts, starting from left block (in clockwise direction), represent Health Hazard, Flammability Hazard, Reactivity Hazard and Space for additional information such as water reactivity, oxidant and radiation hazard. The colour codes for these hazards are : blue for health, red for flammability, yellow for reactivity and colourless for additional information. These are rated on a scale of 0 (no hazard) to 4 (extreme hazard). The ratings for individual substances can be found in the NFPA Fire Protection Guide to Hazardous Materials.

14

4.1.1 HEALTH Rating 4 : A few whiffs of the gas or vapour could cause death or the gas, vapour or liquid could be fatal on penetrating the fire fighters normal full protective clothing which is designed for resistance to heat. For most chemicals having a Health 4 rating, the normal full protective clothing available to the average fire department will not provide adequate protection against skin contact with these materials. Only special protective clothing designed to protect against the specific hazard should be worn. Rating 3 : Materials extremely hazardous to health, but areas may be entered with extreme care. Full protective clothing, including self- contained breathing apparatus, rubber gloves, boots and bands around legs, arms and waist should be provided. No skin surface should be exposed. Rating 2 : Materials hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely with self-contained breathing apparatus. Rating 1 : Materials only slightly hazardous to health. It may be desirable to wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Rating 0 : Materials which on exposure under fire conditions would offer no health hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material. 4.1.2 FLAMMABILITY Rating 4 : Very flammable gases, very volatile flammable liquids, and materials that in the form of dusts or mists readily form explosive mixtures when dispersed in air. Shut off flow of gas or liquid and keep cooling water streams on exposed tanks or containers. Use water spray carefully in the vicinity of dusts so as not to create dust clouds. Rating 3 : Liquids, which can be ignited under almost, all normal temperature conditions. Water may be ineffective on these liquids because of their low flash points.

15

Solids which form coarse dusts, solids in shredded or fibrous form that create flash fires, solids that burn rapidly, usually because they contain their own oxygen, and any material that ignites spontaneously at normal temperatures in air. Rating 2 : Liquids which must be moderately heated before ignition will occur and solids that readily give off flammable vapours. Water spray may be used to extinguish the fire because the material can be cooled to below its flash point. Rating 1 : Materials that must be pre-heated before ignition can occur. Water may cause frothing of liquids with this flammability rating number if it gets below the surface of the liquid and turns to steam. However, water spray gently applied to the surface will cause a frothing which will extinguish the fire. Most combustible solids have flammability rating of 1.0 Materials that will not burn. 4.1.3 REACTIVITY Rating 4 : Materials which in themselves are readily capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures. Includes materials, which are sensitive to mechanical or localized thermal shock. If a chemical with this hazard rating is in an advanced or massive fire, the area should be evacuated. Rating 3 : Materials which in themselves are capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or of explosive reaction but which require a strong initiating source or which must be heated under confinement before initiation. Includes materials which are sensitive to thermal or mechanical shock at elevated temperature and pressure or which react explosively with water without requiring of confinement. Fire fighting should be done from an explosion-resistant location. Rating 2 : Materials which in themselves are normally unstable and readily undergo violent chemical change but do not detonate. Includes materials which can undergo chemical change with rapid release of energy at normal temperatures and pressures or which can undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures. Also includes those materials which may react violently with water or which may form potentially explosive mixtures with water. In advanced or massive fires, fire fighting should be done from a protected location. Rating 1 : Materials which in themselves are normally stable but which may become unstable at elevated temperature and pressure or which may react with water with some release of energy but not violently. Caution must be used in approaching the fire and applying water. Rating 0 : Materials which are normally stable even under fire exposure conditions and which are not reactive with water. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used. Explanation for bottom space (Colourless) : The bottom space is primarily used to identify unusual reactivity with water. With a line through its centre alerts fire fighting personnel to the possible hazard in use of water. This bottom space may also be used to identify a

16

radiation hazard by the symbol. Oxidising chemicals are identified in the bottom space, as OXY. 4.2 HAZCHEM CODE: Hazchem code provides vital information to fire brigade and other emergency services on the action to be taken to combat spilage, leakage or fire in an emergency involving hazardous substance. The Central Motor Vehicle Rules requires that the vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals to display Emergency Information Panel (EIP). The EIP requires display of Hazchem code (also called the emergency action code). The Hazchem code consistst of a number from 1-4 (A) and any one of the letters – P, R. S, T, W, X, Y, Z (B) followed by at times by the letter E .

A B E

• The number (in place of A above) signify extinguishing medium to be employed as given below :

1. JETS 2. FOG 3. FOAM 4. DRY AGENT

• The letters ( in place of B above) signify three aspects viz. 1. Method of controlling spillage (a) By diluting or (b) By containing 2. Personnal protective equipment to be worn by the fire fighters 3. Reactive nature of chemicals

• If letter E exists then, need for equacuation E exist

17

• The fire service personnel should carry the hazchem code scale and the notes for guidance as given below :

Example : The Hazchem code for motor spirit (Petrol ) is 3YE as shown above. 3 – use foam only Y – can be violently (V) reactive. Breathing apparatus + Protective Gloves to be used in case of fire. PPE is not a requirement in case of spillage. Any spillage of the substance should be contained. E – Consider evacuation as a first priority.

18

6.0 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SAFE STORAGE, HANDLING AND DISPOSAL

Safety at storage and handling of hazardous chemicals depends on a considerable extent on effective safety education / training following safety procedures and efficient supervision. The operating staff must be aware of the hazards involved, the location and operation of safety equipment. Carrying and use of ordinary mobile phone in storage, operation and handling area shall be prohibited. Only intrinsically safe communication equipment shall be allowed.

6.1 STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS 6.1.1 STORAGE IN BULK

Utmost care is necessary in ensuring proper and safe storage facility for hazardous chemicals. The following points should be given due weightage to avoid any mishap. (i) Attempt should be made to find suitable less hazardous alternate

chemicals, to replace the hazardous chemical. The inventory of all hazardous chemicals for that matter must be kept as minimum as possible.

(ii) The tanks should be located so as not to pose safety problems due to

leakage and reaction with other chemicals stored nearby. The environment at the location should be suitable for the chemical stored.

The storage area should be declared as a prohibited area and should be provided with fencing having at least two exits / “No Smoking” and/or “Prohibited Area” display boards, as applicable should be provided at site.

(a) Oxidising Agents : Oxidising substances must be stored away

from all flammable materials even if they are only slightly flammable. Oxidising material must be kept away from substance which are reducing agents.

(b) Water Sensitive Substances : These substances react with water

or steam to produce flammable or explosive gases and evolve heat, eg.. Conc. acids like sulphuric acid, glacial ethnoic acid etc. Conc. Alkali like sodium hydroxide react with water later to evolve heat. Such materials must not be stored in areas where water flooding from pipe leakages or leaky roofs can happen.

(c) Toxic Substances : These substances must be stored in well

ventilated areas, preferably cool and certainly away from direct sun rays. Periodic checks should be organised for all parts of storage areas. Extremely toxic substances like TEL (Tetra

20

Ethyl Lead) must be stored separately under strict security.

(d) Incompatible Chemicals : Incompatible chemicals should not be stored near each other.

(e) Corrosive Chemicals : The flooring of the area where corrosive

chemicals are stored, shall be impervious and made of corrosion resistant materials.

(iii) The storage tank and foundation should be of suitable material of

construction to prevent corrosion. (iv) The connections and openings to the tank should be as minimum as

possible so that the possibility of leakage and maintenance hazards are minimized.

(v) The tanks should be fitted with vents/relief systems of adequate capacity

discharging to a safe height. Capacity requirement in case of high vapour evolution resulting from heating due to fire of adjacent tank also should be considered. Wherever atmospheric release of the vapour is not advisable, the relief should be routed to a neutralising system. Flame arrestors are recommended for the vents of atmospheric storage tanks containing Class A (flash point less than 23 degree centigrade) chemicals. The location of flame arrestor must be easily accessible for periodic inspection to ensure that flame arrestor is free of any choking.

(vi) The tank should have provision for emergency evacuation of its stock

to a safer location in case of emergency like fire, tank failure etc. using suitable pump out system. Use of double isolation valve – gate and globe valve in series on the drain-out line is recommended.

(vii) Each storage tank should have necessary instruments to monitor its

level, pressure and temperature preferably with remote indications at control room or field operators cabins. Abnormal rise in level / pressure / temperature should alert control room by alarm. Quite often, the level gauges pose problems of choking, leakage from drain connections, leakage from broken gauge glasses leading to accidents. Hence, it is suggested to have guarded, illuminated level gauges. Level gauges should have provision for in-situ cleaning.

Wherever possible any leakage of hazardous chemicals must be detected and alarm should be annunciated at control room.

(viii) The tank should have a dyke of suitable material (compatible with the chemical) of volume equal to the volume of the larger storage tank. The dyke should have facility to: (a) drain off rain water into storm water channel ; (b) route high volume spillage / leakage to suitable neutralizing pit

21

nearby ; (c) discharge safe effluent to oily water system, as applicable. The isolation valves on dyke drains should be located outside the dyke.

(ix) Fire access roads should be provided to storage area. The storage tanks / area should have suitable fire protection and fire fighting facility.

(x) Adequate communication facility like public address / telephone must be

made available for interacting with control room, fire stations, medical units etc.

(xi) The name of chemical, type of hazard, emergency operational

instructions, antidote, first aid etc. should be displayed near each tank.

(xii) Electrical Safety : All cables and electric fittings shall be constructed, installed, protected, operated and maintained in such a manner so as to prevent risk of open sparking.

6.1.2 STORAGE OF CHEMICALS IN DRUMS / OTHER CONTAINER

This section has to be read in continuation with previous section (6.2.1) as most of the above guidelines for bulk storage apply to drums / others containers storage. In fact, drum storage of hazardous chemicals (liquids) pose potential hazard compared to bulk storage in that (a) each drum of a cluster of drum can become a source of leakage; (b) the drums normally being less resistant to fire would collapse faster escalating and spreading of fire to other drums of the stack. Hence following guidelines Shall be considered in addition to those discussed in 6.2.1 :

(i) The drums should never be filled full with the liquid chemical. There

should be sufficient ullage to take care of thermal expansion.

(ii) The drums should preferably be stored in a well ventilated shed (preferably away from process units) with impermeable floor sloping away from drums.

(iii) There should be provision to collect accidental spills for safe disposal.

(iv) The drums should be stacked in a single tier with lid position as

A powerful Oxidising and Corrosive material. Although many mixture H2O2 and Organic Materials do not

explode upon contact, the resultant combination is detonable either upon catching fire or by impact. That

detonation velocity of aqueous solution of H2O2 have been found to be about 8500m second for between 95wt.

% and 100wt. H2O2 Another source of H2O2 explosion is from sealing the material in strong containers.

Under such condition, even gradual decomposition of H2O2 to H2O O2 can cause large pressures to build up in

the containers which may then burst explosively. A solution of H2O2 of 35wt.% and over can cause blistering

of the skin. The eyes are particularly sensitive to this material. It is use as a general purpose food additive. It

migrates to food from packaging materials.

The most valuable commercially is the “Gamma” form, which has a strong tendency to polymerise to straight chain “Beta” form & subsequently to the cross-linked “Alpha” form. When “Beta” or “Alpha” form melted, they tend to revert to “Gamma” form - liquid or ice-cold crystals. The difference in vapour pressure explains the so-called “Alpha” explosion. Heating of high melting SO3 in glass vessels should be avoided to prevent possible shattering of the containers. Absolutely dry SO3 is not corrosive to metals. On exposure to air, it absorbs moisture rapidly, emitting dense white fumes. Combines with water with high explosive violence forming H2SO4.

The prmissible exposure limit (PEL) and threshold limit valve (TLV) for the fluid as oil mist is 5 mg/m3. Exposures below 5 mg/m3 appear to be without significant health risk.

Ingestion: Ingestin is relatively non-toxic unless aspiration occurs,

Parathern NF has laxative properties and may result in abdominal cramps and diarrhea. See personal health protection section below.

Skin Contact: Parathem NF is not expected to cause any skin irritation

hower, similar chemical compositon products applied to the skin of laboratory animals resulted in minimal to slight dermal irritation.

Skin Absorption: Eye Contact: Paratherm NF is non irritating to the eyes upon direct

contact. Symptoms Emergency Treatment: Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water and

continue flushing for 15 minutes. If fluids is hot, treat for thermal burns and take victim to hospital immediately.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. If fluid is hot, submerge

injured area in cold water. If victim is severely burned, take to a hospital immediately.

Inhalation: Paratherm NF has a low vapour pressure and is not expected

to prevent an inhalation hazard at ambient conditons. If vapour or mist is generated when the fluid is heated or handled, remove victim from exposure. If breathing has stopped or is irregular, administer artificial respiration and supply oxygen if it is available. If victim is unconscious remove to fresh air and seek medical attention. Do not use compressed oxygen in hgydrocarbon atmospheres.

Ingestion: May act as a laxative. Do not induce vomiting due to

possible aspiration. If vomiting occurs, lower head below knees to avoid aspiration. Seek immediate medical attention.

Personal Protective Equipment: Eye protection I s not required under conditions of normal use. If the fluid

is handled such tht it could be splashed into eyes, wear plastic face shield or splash-proof safty goggles. No skin protection is required for single, short duration exposure. For prolonged or repeated exposures, use impervious synthetic rubber clothing (boots glves, aprons, etc.) over parts of the body subject to exposure. If handling hot fluid, use insulated protective clothing (boots glves, aprons, etc.) Respiratory protectin is not required under conditions of normal use. If vapour or mist is generated when the fluid is heated or handled, use an organic vapour respirator with a dust and mist filter. Do not use compressed oxygen in hydrocarbon atmospheres. If vapour or mist is generated when the fluid is heated or handled, adequate ventilation in accordance with good engineering practice must be provided to maintain concentrations below the specified exposure or flammable mimits. Consumption of food and beverages should be avoided in work areas where hydrocarbons are present. Always wash hands and face with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking.

Handling and Storage Precautions: Do not transfer to unmarked containers. Store in closed containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials paratherm NF is not classified as hazardous under DOT regulations. Fire extinguishers shoul be kept readily available.
