A chemical reactivity hazard is a situation with the potential for an uncontrolled chemical reaction: Temperature increase, pressure increase, gas evolution. Chemical reactivity incidents can be initiated by various process upsets: Unintentional interaction, self-reactivity, accumulation of reactants, loss of cooling, catalyst mischarge, fire. The first step to assessing the hazard is understanding where a chemical reactivity hazard might exist. This publication presents the ideal process for investigating chemical reactivity hazards, and includes a case study on chlorine.
