Question

Which class of hazards is characterized by thermal and mechanical hazards in the form of blast pressure waves, shrapnel and fragmentation, and incendiary thermal effects

Answer 1

Class 1 (Explosives) is the class of hazards that is characterized by thermal and mechanical hazards in the form of blast pressure waves, shrapnel and fragmentation, and incendiary thermal effects.

There are different classes of Hazards

Class 1 - Explosives

Class 2 - Gases

Class 3 - Flammable liquids

Class 4 - Flammable solids

Class 5 - Oxidizers

Class 6 - Toxic materials

Class 7 - Radioactive materials

Class 8 - Corrosive materials

Class 9 - Miscellaneous dangerous goods

Any substance or item, including a gadget, that is intended to function by explosion or that, through a chemical reaction inside itself, is capable of functioning similarly even if not intended to function by explosion, falls within the category of explosive materials (class 1).

Hence, Class 1 (Explosives) is the class of hazards that is characterized by thermal and mechanical hazards.
