I am discussing Maximum Allowable Quantities in an upcoming webinar. It will include how we approach the identification of hazard classes and MAQ limits calculation.
To identify MAQ compliance, you need to understand the Maximum Allowable Quantity limits and how they compare to your chemical inventory amounts.
Calculating the Maximum Allowable Quantities (MAQs) for chemicals in your buildings alone is hard. Complications include increases and decreases in limits based on the presence of automated fire suppression systems, control area occupancies, outdoor storage areas, approved storage, and stories above and below grade plane, such as basements and sub-basements. Calculating when MAQ limits will be exceeded can quickly become overwhelming when considering the impact of upcoming lab moves and different fire code years for different buildings.
We are here to help! Join us for a MAQ informational Q&A session and let our MAQ expert, Russ Vernon, Ph.D., answer some of your burning MAQ questions. Registration is required. We hope to see you there!
