NFPA 45 Task Group Issues To Be Addressed:

1. General

a. NFPA 45 4.3.1(3) – Add definition for “highly exothermic reaction” to Chapter 3 if

needed.

b. NFPA 45 Table 10.1.1 – Add definition of “Quantities in Use” & “open system use” to
Chapter 3 from NFPA 400 & 5000 for clarification.

c. NFPA 45 8.8.4.2 – Is “(See 5.6.1)” at the end of the paragraph needed?

d. NFPA 45 Table 10.1.2 – Update the specifications for polyethylene to the current NFPA
30 Table 9.4.3 – “Polyethylene UN1H1 and UN1H2, or as authorized by DOT
exemptionspecial permit”. Comment [AGM1]: Per Bill Barlen, DOT no
longer uses the term “exemption”. Need to verify
the “special permit” wording.
e. NFPA 45 Chapter 7 – Review the US Chemical Safety Board report on the explosion at
Texas Tech and see if we need to revise/improve requirements related to explosion
hazard protection.

2. Educational & Instructional Laboratory Safety Issues (Chapter 4, 5, &12)

a. Protection of students in close proximity to experiments/demonstrations where

flammable/hazardous materials are being used that could cause burn injuries to the
students. References 12/2/11 e-mail – Maple Grove Junior High, 4/27/12 e-mail –
Student Injured In Minor Chemical Explosion At Mililani High, 3/30/12 e-mail – Students,
Teacher Hurt In School Fire, 11/18/11 e-mail – Tenn. Professor Injured Shielding
Students From Blast, and 11/2/00 newspaper article – Two Riverside students burned in
high school lab accident; these are some of the events that I have documented related
to the need for additional protection for students.

b. Require training for teachers/instructors related to safe performance of experiments in

the proximity of students, fire hazards/safe handling of chemicals/hazardous materials
in use, and proper use of personnel protective equipment.

c. Get input from the Laboratory Safety Institute and Dr. James A. Kaufman of these
issues/needs/requirements.

c.d. NFPA 45 1.1.2 – review the application of NFPA 45 to educational laboratories in light of
concerns that NFPA 45 would not apply if the chemicals were stored in a separate fire
rated storage area and the only gas was plumbed in. We may need to have an
application statement related to educational labs where flammable or gases (quantity ?)
are used.

3. Construction Issues (Chapter 5)

a. NFPA 45 Table 5.1.1 – Clarify labs below grade along with quantity reductions by levels
below grade.

b. NFPA 45 5.1 – Provide text to state how many laboratory units would be permitted per
floor level especially for Class A & B labs. I believe that the old task group discussed
having 4 units per floor level.

c. NFPA 45 5.1.4 – add Annex text to clarify what types of situations where water could
create a serious fire of personnel hazard that would warrant the use of a non-water type
fire suppression system if needed.

d. NFPA 45 5.1.5 – clarify with Annex text on references to NFPA 101 8.3.4 and 8.3.5 for
opening and penetrations.

e. NFPA 45 5.3.1 – Does industrial occupancy include Class C labs that are instructional
labs? NFPA 45 5.3.3 & 5.3.4 appear to be redundant; clarify and revise as needed.

f. NFPA 45 5.4.1(4) – Clarify or define “adjacent” if necessary. NFPA 45 5.4.1 – clarify

square foot requirement is based on gross or net square feet, if needed. Should there
be a requirement for educational and instructional labs to have hoods/demonstration
area located in back of a classroom if the room has only 1 exit?

g. NFPA 45 does not address a second means of egress for laboratory work areas based on
occupant load. NFPA 45, Section 5.3 defers to NFPA 101, except where modified in
NFPA 45. NFPA 45, 5.4.1, would require a second means of egress if any of the
situations listed were present in an educational laboratory work area. Does NFPA 45
need to require a second means of egress for educational or instructional labs that are
less than 1,000 square feet, but have an occupant load greater than 50 or do we refer to
NFPA 101 requirements?

h. NFPA 45 5.4 Check references in NFPA 101 Chapters 18-21 as related to labs in health
care facilities where fire rated separations may be needed based on the volume of
flammable liquids since NFPA 45 now cover these labs. The current text in NFPA 101 is
very vague. May need to add text to NFPA 45 and/or write a proposal to NFPA 101.

i. Revise NFPA 45 5.6.1 to clarify the intent of “subject to liquid spills”. Is this in fume
hoods, on counter tops, and/or at floor level? How high above a counter top would not
be subject to a liquid spill? Does the requirement apply to flammable liquids only or to
all liquid chemicals/water?

j. Revise NFPA 45 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 to be consistent with the requirement to have automatic
fire suppression for all laboratories.
 j.k. NFPA 45 – Review Annex D and the associated diagrams to validate that the diagrams
still reflect the committee’s position on the layout of laboratory units. We may need to
revise or add diagrams.

4. Fire Protection requirements for labs (Chapter 6 & 8)

a. NFPA 45 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 – Revise to be consistent with the requirement to have
automatic fire suppression for all laboratories.

b. NFPA 45 6.2.1.2 – add Annex to reference NIST report on Quick Response Sprinklers in
Chemical Laboratories: Fire Test Results NISTIR 89-4200.

c. NFPA 45 6.3 - Standpipes – Clarify requirement if needed – for fire department use only
or for occupant use. There have been questions related to the intent of having
standpipes in laboratory buildings.

d. Add text to address the need for fire retardant PPE for researchers using pyrophoric
liquids and other higher risk activities where researchers may be at risk of catching their
clothing on fire in labs. May be a topic for fire prevention in Chapter 6. See:
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B7XNT-4YPH0C7-
1&_user=2741876&_coverDate=02%2F28%2F2011&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=gatewa
y&_origin=gateway&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_acct=C000058656&_version=1&_
urlVersion=0&_userid=2741876&md5=83a9557f24f136e668e4f6576f491acd&searchtyp
e=a

e. Clothing fires – modify NFPA 45 Annex 6.6.3.2 to add text similar to the following on fire
blankets: Fire blankets may be valuable in labs for a variety of purposes. One of those
does not happen to be wrapping yourself in them to extinguish your clothing fire. In
addition to trapping the heat, the fire blanket creates a chimney effect and directs the
hot, toxic gases, and flames into your face, breathing zone and lungs. Someone else can
get the blanket and use it to help smother the flames. Blankets can also be used for (1)
shower modesty curtains, (2) wraps for after the shower, (3) a temporary stretcher, (4)
to keep someone warm to avoid shock, (5) a pillow if the victim needs to be on the floor,
and (6) to smother other fires.

f. NFPA 45 8.10 - Fire suppression for fume hoods – provide clearer requirements for
when automatic fire suppressions systems would need to be installed in chemical fume
hoods. Requirement may be based on size, type of operations, quantities of
flammable/combustible liquids, or a combination of factors.

5. Ventilation (Chapter 8 Issues)

a. Low flow fume hoods are not addressed in NFPA 45, but there are several qualified
hoods that are now available. The committee needs to modify the requirements in
chapter 8 to include text to cover installation and safe operations of this type of hood.
b. Ductless fume hoods are only discussed in NFPA 45 A.8.4.1, but there are now vendors
that provide ductless fume hoods that can be safely used in labs for limited types of
operations. The committee needs to establish criteria for what an acceptable design for
a ductless fume hood would be, what types of operations would be acceptable in a
ductless hood, and what procedures need to be in place to administratively control the
use of ductless fume hoods. There is guidance in ANSI Z9.5 and Z9.7; Prudent Practices
in the Laboratory; CRC Handbook of Laboratory Safety (called self-contained hoods); and
see article – Part III on page 5 at: http://www.safelab.com/DOWNLOAD/SCRUBBER.pdf .
We probably also need to update/revise the NFPA 45 3.3.9 chemical fume hood
definition because there are ductless enclosures that are advertised as fume hoods, but
they are actually only a ventilated enclosure since they don’t have baffles that allow
heavier than air vapors to be captured and removed.

c. Laboratory minimum ventilation rate and energy conservation features – there has been
a lot of discussion industry wide related to the deletion of the text in the 2004 edition of
NFPA 45 A.8.2.2 with a minimum rate of 4 air changes per hour recommendation. See
the white paper discussion on this at: http://www.aircuity.com/wp-
content/uploads/Aircuity-White-Paper_Lab-Ventilation-ACH-Rates_Standards-
Guidelines_ACHWP_20120103-2.pdf . The committee needs a clear position on this.
May also need to provide more guidance related to variable air volume (VAV) controls
for fume hoods. This should also include: How should the standard address indoor air
quality control systems that vary air flow based on sensors placed in labs? What should
be monitored and where should the monitors be? What are the failure criteria?

d. NFPA 45 8.10.3.1 states “Automatic fire dampers shall not be used in fume hood
exhaust system.” NFPA 45 8.10.3 states “The design and installation of ducts from
chemical fume hoods shall be in accordance with NFPA 91, Standard for Exhaust
Systems for Air Conveying of Vapors, Gases, Mists, and Non-combustible Particulate
Solids, expect that the specific requirements in NFPA 45 shall take precedence. NFPA91
Section “4.1.12 Exhaust ducts passing through a fire barrier having a fire resistance
rating of 2 hours or greater shall meet either of the following specifications: (1)
Wrapped or encased with listed or approved materials having a fire resistance rating
equal to the fire barrier for 3m (10 ft) of the duct on each side of the fire barrier
including duct supports within this span or (2) Constructed of materials and supports
having a minimum fire resistance rating equal to the fire barrier.” Review NFPA 90A and
91 requirements related to chemical exhaust ducts passing through fire walls. Add text
to reference NFPA 90A and how to install exhaust ducts in multi-story buildings without
fire dampers into a vertical common exhaust duct (improve and clarify Annex A-
8.10.3.1). Also, clarify how NFPA 45 5.1.10 would apply as related to the requirements
in this context – does 5.1.10 apply to supply ducts only.

e. NFPA 45 8.10.3 states that all ducts from fume hoods shall be designed per NFPA 91,
except that specific requirements in NFPA 45 shall take precedence. NFPA 91 4.1.2
 states that incompatible materials shall not be conveyed in the same system
(presumably by ducting each hood exhaust separately). NFPA 45 8.5.10.3 states that
exhaust ducts within a laboratory unit may be combined. Similarly, NFPA 45 8.5.10.1 &
8.5.10.2 permit exhaust ducts to be combined in a mechanical room or shaft within the
building. Do we have any conflicts between NFPA 45 and NFPA 91 requirements as
stated above? Do we need to clarify the committee’s position with additional text in the
standard or in the Annex?

f. Duct velocities to prevent buildup of dusts in ducts or filter ducts/particulate to prevent

accumulation. NFPA 45 8.7 does not address duct velocities where lab exhaust is used
for control/exhausting particulates from labs to prevent buildup of the particulate in the
ducts. Should the committee have criteria to address this issue; can we reference
criteria from another design standard?

g. Consider adding Annex information on digestion type reactions where large volumes of
vapors are exhausted into the chemical exhaust ducts with liquid accumulation in ducts
due to lowered air flows in ducts and cooling of the effluent. This has been an issue in
some labs with VAV controls and they are seeing liquids running back into fume hoods
from the exhaust ducts. Is this an issue that the standard needs to address?

h. NFPA 45 8.8.7 – Fume hood air flow monitoring requirements – are they up-to-date with
current technology, clear and adequate. Should we add guidance to Annex to clarify?
Also, do we need to address fume hood “diversity” alarms where VAV design is used and
the lab has more hoods than the exhaust system is capable of handling if all hoods are in
use?

i. ANSI-AIHA Z9.5 2012 edition has been published. Review Z9.5 and see what portions of
Chapter 8 would need to be revised specifically NFPA 45 8.4.2.2. Also, update NFPA 45
2.3.1, A.3.3.9, A.8.2.1, & A.8.4.7 references. Delete reference in G.1.2.2 since it is
already listed in 2.3.1.

j. NFPA 45 8.11.6 – Consider adding to Annex 8.11 references to design guidance in

ASHRAE HVAC Applications Handbook 2011 Chapter 16 related to installation of
perchloric acid ducts.

k. NFPA 45 8.13.2 (1) – Clarify with Annex text to what types of activities may be
performed when the hood exhaust is not fully operational.

l. NFPA 45 8.8 – add requirement for fume hood construction to be in accordance with UL
1805.

m. NFPA 45 8.5.4 – With heat recovery coils being installed in chemical exhaust ducts,
many engineers are requiring filters to be installed upstream from the heat recovery
coils to prevent the coils from being plugged by dust and other debris that is in the
 exhaust air stream. Do these filters violate the requirement of 8.5.4 and do we need to
address any issues associated with chemicals hazards that may accumulate on the
filters? Are there certain types of filters that are good for this configuration and are
there ones that should be prohibited?

6. Chemical Storage, Handling and Waste Disposal Issues (Chapter 9)

a. Add reference to NFPA 484 related to use of combustible metals and dusts in labs.
Review requirements related to allowed quantities to prevent explosive controls.

b. Clarify quantities of hazardous materials other than flammable liquids that are allowed
in labs and by floor level.

c. Storage of oily rags in labs – do we need to provide requirements or reference another

NFPA standard.

d. Add a new section on handling and disposal of pyrophoric materials. See reference to
web article in 4d above.

e. NFPA 45 9.3.2.1 – The standard assumes that labs will be operated within the maximum
allowed quantities (MAQ) of hazardous materials per NFPA 1/400/building code. The
Annex notes for this section should be expanded to clarify compliance with the
additional requirements in NFPA 1/400/building code where MAQs are exceeded for
any of the categories of hazardous materials.

f. NFPA 45 9.3.4 & 9.3.5 – Does this section apply to flammable & combustible liquids only
or does it apply to all containers of liquid waste?

g. NFPA 45 9.3.6 – Clarify that the “maximum allowed quantities” is the total of hazardous
types of materials including new and waste materials.

h. NFPA 45 A.9.2.3.1 – Add note at end of text: (Also see corrosive gases in A.11.1.2).

7. Compressed Gas Issues (Chapter 11)

a. Gas shutoff valves for labs? NFPA 54 requirements and other requirements? NFPA 54
7.9.2.4 Shutoff Valve for Laboratories. Each laboratory space containing two or more gas
outlets installed on tables, benches, or in hoods in educational, research, commercial,
and industrial occupancies shall have a single shutoff valve through which all such gas
outlets are supplied. The shutoff valve shall be accessible, located within the laboratory
or adjacent to the laboratory’s egress door, and identified. This also may be a
requirement in the new ANSI Z9.5.

b. New text to address issues with ethylene oxide, as a sterilizer gas in health care
laboratories. Review how previous editions of NFPA 99 addressed this issue.
 c. NFPA 45 11.1.4 – Review with respect to storage/use of lecture bottle size cylinders of
toxic/highly toxic gases in fume hoods with respect to the requirements in NFPA 55
6.17. Does a fume hood with standard flow rates or reduced flow rates due to VAV
controls provide an adequate level of safety or should NFPA 45 defer to the NFPA 55
requirements for Exhausted Enclosures?

d. NFPA 45 11.1.5.2.2 – Clarify gas source as outside of the “laboratory work area”. Is a
gauge needed with every station regulator?

8. Operational Issues (Chapter 12 & 13)

a. Add text to address fire protection issues related to glove boxes for protection of
operations with pyrophoric metals/liquids and other non-radiological or biological uses
– may also need to have ventilation issues addressed in Chapter 8. These glove boxes
typically have inert atmospheres and oxygen monitoring with alarms.

b. NFPA 45 12.2.2 UL listing for refrigerators/freezers for storage of flammable liquids and
remove the text related to modification of refrigerators/freezers. Add standard
manufacturer’s language of “flammable material refrigerator/freezer” or “explosion
proof refrigerator/freezer”. Also, may need to revise associated Annex text.

c. NFPA 45 12.2.6 (?) Electrostatic safety issues in a lab with respect to the use of HDPE for
the collection of spent laboratory flammable liquid wastes from an HPLC or similar
apparatus. Is this a problem? Does the slow flow rate limit the buildup of static
electricity with solvents like toluene or xylene? Do we need new text or Annex
information? Should Supplement 5 Electrostatics in the 2008 NFPA 30 Handbook be
added into the Annex of NFPA 45 or referenced?

d. NFPA 45 12.1.1 – Does this section have adequate requirements to require hazard
evaluations, risk assessments, and hazard mitigation for chemical use and chemical
reactions. The current requirements in this section are very general and may need to be
more specific, especially when very hazardous materials (NFPA 704 hazard rating of 4)
are planned to be used. See the CSB case study of the Texas Tech University Laboratory
Explosion at: http://www.csb.gov/assets/document/CSB_Study_TTU_.pdf

e. Chapter 12 - Add requirements to address the fire hazards associated with flame
sterilization associated with biological research operations. Flame sterilization can
involve the use of flammable liquids (typically ethanol) and an open flame source
(Bunsen burner or propane torch). Fires have occurred when the container of
flammable liquid has caught fire and the research staff were not prepared to control the
fire. For an example, see: http://ehs.berkeley.edu/hs/129-lessons-learned-at-uc-
berkeley/289-ethanol-fire-burns-researcher.html . This type of event occurs frequently
sometimes with injuries/burns to researchers.
f. NFPA 45 13.3 – Labeling requirements for chemical containers could be improved. The
13.3.1 requirements are not possible with small ml size containers. May need additional
information in the Annex for guidance.
