Which policy addresses the control and use of flammable, toxic, and caustic substances?

• A. Policy 217
• B. Policy 111
• C. Policy 601
• D. Code Black

Answer: (A)

Handling flammable, toxic, and caustic substances requires a policy that specifically governs hazardous materials—how they’re stored, labeled, used, and disposed of, along with required training, spill response, and protective equipment. Policy 217 is designed to cover these exact controls, giving clear procedures to prevent accidents, exposures, and fires in the facility. The other options aren’t focused on chemical safety in the same way—one is an incident code rather than a materials-handling policy, and the remaining policies are broader safety or operations guidelines that don’t provide the targeted chemical controls needed here. So Policy 217 is the best fit.
