[Ord. 87-2, 6/10/1987, § 1]
Hazards of materials on premises in the Township of Kingston shall be identified by color and order of severity indicated numerically on placards made of metal or plastic 18 inches by 18 inches in size and paid for and installed by the owner or occupant of the premises on the exterior of any structure containing the same.
1. 
Identification of the health hazard shall be made on placards indicated hereinbefore which is blue in color and marked numerically as to severity as follows:
A. 
Materials which on very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury even though prompt medical treatment was given is to be marked No. 4.
B. 
Materials which on short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury even though prompt medical treatment was given is to be marked No. 3.
C. 
Materials which on intense or continued exposure could cause temporary incapacity or possible residual injury unless prompt medical treatment is given is to be marked No. 2.
D. 
Materials which on exposure would cause irritation but only minor residual injury even if no treatment is given to be marked No. 1.
E. 
If there is no special hazard, it is to be marked zero.
2. 
Identification of inflammability shall be made on a placard as indicated hereinbefore which is red in color and marked numerically as to severity as follows:
A. 
Materials which will rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure and normally ambient temperature which are readily dispersed in air and which will burn steadily is to be marked No. 4.
B. 
Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions is to be marked No. 3.
C. 
Materials that must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur is to be market No. 2.
D. 
Materials that must be preheated before ignition can occur is to be marked No. 1.
E. 
If there is no special hazard it is to be marked zero.
3. 
Identification of reactivity shall be made on a placard as indicated hereinbefore which is yellow in color and marked numerically as to severity as follows:
A. 
Materials which in themselves are readily capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or reaction at normal temperature and pressure is to be marked No. 4.
B. 
Materials which in themselves are capable of detonation or of explosive reaction but require a strong initiating source or which must be heated under a confinement before ignition or which react explosively with water is to be marked No. 3.
C. 
Materials which in themselves are normally unstable and readily undergo violent chemical change but do not detonate and also materials which may violently react with water or which may form potentially explosive mixtures is to be marked No. 2.
D. 
Materials which in themselves are normally stable which can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures or which may react with water with some release of energy but not violently is to be marked No. 1.
E. 
If there is no special hazard, it is to be marked zero.
4. 
Identification of materials indicating unusual reactivity with water shall be made on a placard as indicated hereinbefore which is white in color.
5. 
The aforesaid placards are to be installed at least on two sides of the building in which the hazardous materials are contained and of which at least one of the placards can be easily seen and identified by anyone without trespassing on said premises.
6. 
The Fire Safety and Prevention Officer or his representatives of the Township of Kingston shall inspect all buildings containing hazardous materials whether they are commercial, industrial, or domestic, at least once a year, to ascertain whether there is compliance with the provisions of this Part.
[Ord. 87-2, 6/10/1987, § 2]
The owner or lessee of any premises upon which hazardous materials are stored or otherwise maintained shall deliver to the Kingston Township Police Department and the fire companies within Kingston Township within 10 days of the placement of hazardous materials upon any premises a Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) with respect to each hazardous material. Said Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shall be a written document prepared by a manufacturer, supplier, or importer, as prepared in conformity with the "Pennsylvania Right to Know Law", Act of October 5, 1984, P.L. 734, No. 159, 35 P.S. § 7317, for the purpose of transmitting information concerning a chemical.

Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this Part, upon conviction thereof in an action brought before a district justice in the manner provided for the enforcement of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 90 days. Each day that a violation of this Part continues or each Section of this Part which shall be found to have been violated shall constitute a separate offense.
