Kentucky’s Hazardous Liquid Unloading standard

A “Hazardous liquid” means, for the purpose of this regulation, a chemical or mixture of chemicals that is toxic, an irritant, corrosive, a strong oxidizer, a strong sensitizer,
combustible, flammable, extremely flammable, dangerously reactive or pressure generating or which otherwise may cause substantial personal injury or substantial illness during, or as a direct result of any customary or reasonably foreseeable handling or use.

This regulation will provide employers in Kentucky with specific requirements for chemical handling procedures to control receiving and transfer to storage of bulk hazardous liquids received via motor truck.  This applies to chemicals which if inadvertently mixed or transferred to an inappropriate container could result in explosion and/or production of toxic gases. This regulation does not apply to receiving gasoline, fuel oil, or liquefied petroleum gas at retail or wholesale outlets or to industrial filling stations where the industry standard operating procedure requires the hauler to make connections and complete delivery.

This regulation does not apply to agriculture.
