VESERIS <br />Contingency Plan <br />Section 5 — <br />Pre-Emergency Planning <br />Effective Date <br />9/20/2021 <br />Supersedes <br />New <br />II. EXPLOSIONS <br />As outlined in the previous section, Veseris facilities can handle multiple <br />products and quantities of flammable liquids. Package sizes can include 5- <br />gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, portable tanks, intermediate bulk containers <br />(IBCs) and bulk tanks. <br />At Veseris facilities flammable liquids can be stored in, but not limited to: <br />Pails <br />Drums <br />Portable tanks/IBCs <br />Bulk tanks <br />As a general rule, the threat of an explosion from these products is relatively <br />low; however, that can change should a fire break out. <br />Flammable liquids and mixtures that contain flammable compounds are <br />extreme fire hazards. If sealed containers of these liquids are in a fire or in <br />close proximity to a fire, the resulting heat could cause the container to explode <br />violently. <br />Evacuation assembly point areas should be located away from <br />storage areas of containerized flammables.
