Remember: Multiple hazards are the rule rather than the exception. Assume
that a hazardous substance will present more than one hazard. Chemicals are typically
classified (e.g., DOT) by their principal adverse property (e.g., flammability,
corrosivity).
This does not mean that chemicals can not exhibit adverse properties other than those
associated with their hazard class (e.g., flammable and poisonous). Multiple hazards can
also result from the reaction of different chemicals with each other and/or with other
materials. |
