The personnel who perform tasks that produce the output of the work group. Front-line personnel include operations and maintenance personnel, engineers, chemists, accountants, shipping clerks, etc.
The data required to generate accident and non-accident rates, the probability of a release following an accident, the range of release sizes to be considered, and the probabilities of various outcomes of release (i.e., toxic, flammable, explosive).
The temperature at which a liquid develops sufficient vapor pressure to form a vapor/air mixture capable of undergoing combustion after ignition from an external energy source. (Fire point is the temperature at which the reaction will be sustained).
The minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air within the test vessel used (Methods: ASTM 502). The flash point is less than the fire point at which the liquid evolves vapor at a sufficient rate for indefinite burning.
