[1971 Code § Ch. 14A]
The Township Committee is concerned with the occurrence of fires
in industrial plants, warehouses and commercial facilities within
the Township of Lakewood, where the fire hazards of materials stored
therein may not be readily apparent. In order to safeguard the lives
of our firefighters and citizens, and to promote the public safety
and welfare, it has become necessary to adopt a system of readily
recognizable and easily understood markings. These will provide our
firefighters at a glance a general idea of the inherent hazards of
any material, and the order of severity of these hazards as they relate
to fire prevention, exposure and control. A material identification
system is necessary in order to give basic information to fire fighting
personnel so as to enable them to decide whether to evacuate the area
or to fight the fire, and will guide them in the solution of fire
fighting techniques and protective measures.
[1971 Code § 14A-1]
There is hereby adopted by the Township of Lakewood, by reference,
the "Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials," the most recent
edition, prepared by the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, Massachusetts, which includes the Standard System for
the Identification of the Fire Hazard of Material (NFPA 704), Hazardous
Chemicals Data (NFPA 49), and Manual of Hazardous Chemical Reactions
(NFPA 491M), copies of which shall be on file in the Office of the
Ocean County Fire Marshal and the Inspection Department for public
reference.
[1971 Code § 14A-5]
Any person, partnership, corporation or agent or manager thereof, owning, possessing, controlling, responsible for or in charge of the use, manufacture, storage or presence, within the Township of Lakewood, of any materials defined in subsection
17-2.3 of this chapter, shall identify and label said materials pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and the National Fire Protection Association standards adopted by reference herein within 24 hours of the presence of materials in the Township.
