WHMIS & Hazard Awareness
This system provides standardized information about hazardous workplace materials.
What is WHMIS?
This insulation has zero permeability and a closed-cell structure.
What is cellular glass?
The maximum temperature limit of extruded foam plastic insulation.
What is 200°F?
This adhesive is used when installing elastomeric foam insulation.
What is contact adhesive?
This precaution must be taken when storing calcium silicate on a jobsite.
What is keep it dry?
WHMIS is designed to control these types of materials.
What are hazardous materials?
This insulation is best identified by its color.
What is mineral wool?
This is the maximum temperature limit of calcium silicate insulation.
What is 1200°F?
This fastener is commonly used when applying cellular glass insulation to pipe.
What is wire?
This insulation should not be left exposed to direct sunlight.
What is polystyrene insulation?
This gas is heavier than air and extremely dangerous at high concentrations in industrial environments.
What is H₂S?
This insulation material is formed from molded beads.
What is polystyrene?
The maximum temperature rating of fiberglass rigid insulation.
What is 850°F?
This fastener is used when installing unjacketed fiberglass pipe insulation.
What is a ½-inch band?
Foam plastic insulation should be stored in this type of location.
What is a dry location out of direct sunlight?
This label symbol indicates dangerously reactive material.
What is dangerously reactive material?
This insulation is known for resisting mechanical abuse at high temperatures.
What is calcium silicate?
The maximum temperature rating of high-temperature mineral wool insulation.
What is 1900°F?
These are inserted parallel to the lap when fastening ASJ pipe covering.
What are staples?
Flexible foam insulation should be applied only when the pipe is this condition.
What is clean, dry, and unheated?
This permit is required when using an electric drill at an operating refinery.
What is a hot work permit?
This insulation is combustible but has excellent vapor resistance and is easy to work with.
What is elastomeric insulation?
The temperature range of thermal insulation systems.
What is −100°F to 1500°F?
This device is used to temporarily hold insulation laps in place during installation.
What is a temporary holding device?
Flexible foam insulation typically comes in these three forms.
What are pipe, sheet, and roll?
