Flammable Gas 2
Flammable Gas 2 : A flammable gas is a gas which can ignite readily and burn rapidly or explosively. Under the Canadian Controlled Products Regulations and under the US Hazard Communication Standard, there are certain technical criteria for the identification of materials as flammable gases for the purposes of each regulation. Flammable gases can be extremely hazardous in the workplace; for example: (a) If the gas accumulates so that its lower explosive limit (LEL) is reached and if there is a source of ignition, an explosion may occur. (b) If there is inadequate ventilation, flammable gases can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back to the source of the gas. The Canadian Controlled Products Regulations are part of the national Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)
