The Alberta Fire Code contains detailed regulations on storing and handling flammable and hazardous materials to prevent fires and explosions. These regulations cover the appropriate containers and storage facilities, maximum quantities allowed, and specific ventilation, signage, and spill control requirements. It mandates containment measures to prevent the spread of these materials in case of leakage. Special permits may be required to store large quantities or certain types of hazardous materials. The Code also outlines the need for emergency response plans in facilities that store or handle hazardous materials. Compliance with these rules is crucial for minimizing the fire risk and ensuring the safety of building occupants and the surrounding community.
