The industrial world is now witnessing a great development in the field of raw materials and chemicals used. Some of these materials present a certain degree of fire risk and sometimes have to be even dealt with under explosion risks such as all volatile inflammable liquids.
Furthermore, there are certain fire hazardous materials which may react to certain extinguishing agents, causing unfavorable consequences eg. CO2 increase the intensity of magnesium fire, and carbon tetrachloride and may bring it to explosion. This specialized study focuses on safety requirements for the transportation of dangerous substances by road and safety requirements for storage and handling of dangerous substances. It also shows classification of dangerous substances and examples of common incompatible chemicals.
