Superfund - ANS This Federal act addresses the problem of inactive hazardous waste sites:
Toxic Substances Control Act - ANS This act requires chemical companies to research the
effects of new chemicals and notify the EPA before they are manufactured:
The Local Emergency Planning Committee - ANS Under Title III, the primary responsibility for
developing a local plan for handling accidental releases of acutely toxic substances is the
responsibility of:
*Only accidental releases of a certain quantity* - ANS EPCRA requires industries that store or
use certain quantities of acutely hazardous substances to report them under what conditions?
The local role in reducing public risks from hazardous materials includes: - ANS 1) Developing
an emergency plan for hazardous materials incidents
2) Regulating hazardous materials transportation through local ordinances

, 3) Regulating safe disposal of hazardous waste
LEPC - ANS If you believe a local manufacturer is not in compliance with Title III, you should:
department of transportation - ANS The Federal agency responsible for regulating hazardous
materials transportation is:
NFPA 704 Labeling System - ANS Indicates health, flammability, and reactivity hazards of
Chemicals (through scale of 0-4)v
There are three possible codes for the bottom quarter of the NFPA symbol, what does OXY
mean? - ANS This means this material is an oxidizer. It can easily release oxygen to create or
worsen a fire or explosion hazard.
There are three possible codes for the bottom quarter of the NFPA symbol, what does the
symbol W mean? - ANS This indicates a material that reacts with water to release a gas that
is either flammable or hazardous to health
There are three possible codes for the bottom quarter of the NFPA symbol, what does the tri-
blade propeller mean? - ANS The material is radioactive
Explosives in Class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.1? - ANS consists of explosives
that have a mass explosion hazard. A mass explosion is one that affects almost the entire load
instantaneously.
explosives in class 1 are divided into six divisions, what is 1.2? - ANS consists of explosives
that have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.
