Hazard / Impact Risk Assessment

HIRA No: Method Statement Title: Method Statement No: Control Measures Prior to starting work with HFL, quantities will be estimated to ensure that only minimum quantities are ordered. A suitable fire-resistant store will be provided for HFL. The store will be signed according to requirements of the Regulations. HFL will be kept only in suitable containers. For petrol, this will be a marked plastic container of 5 litres maximum capacity. Containers used to store HFL will be marked accordingly to show HFL is present, with a flashpoint of less than 32 degrees Celsius. Lids of containers will be secure. Where HFL vapour is foreseeable, no means of ignition will be present. Areas where HFL is stored or used will be kept clear of combustible material as far as practicable. Spillages will be mopped up immediately and materials removed to a safe place. HFL will not be used for purposes which are unauthorised, such as starting fires. Management will ensure that storage facilities are adequate and are maintained to the specified standard. During inspections, they will check to ensure HFL is being used properly, that spillages are cleared up promptly and that the correct fire precautions are being taken. 09
