[![Bacon’s Guide to Avoid the Boom  Classes   Class I locations are considered hazardous due to the presence of flammable gases, liquids or vapors. These locations are the most explosive and include oil refineries, spray booths and more. Class II locations will have a presence of combustible dusts. These dusts can be found in coal mines and grain silos, for example.  Class III locations are those that contain easily ignitable fibers or flyings, such as sawdust or wood chips.    Divisions   Division 1: Ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, vapors or dusts existing all or most of the time under normal conditions. Think of the Division 1 classification to mean “hazard likely.” Division 2: Ignitable concentrations are not likely to exist under normal conditions. Or, where Class III materials are stored or handled. The area around a fuel tank could be classified as Division 2.    Groups   Group A: Acetylene Group B: Hydrogen Group C: Ethylene & Carbon Monoxide Group D: Propane, Gasoline, Naphtha, Benzene, Butane, Ethyl Alcohol, Acetone & Methane  Group E: Metals including Aluminum & Magnesium (Div. 1 only) Group F: Carbonaceous dusts including Coal, Carbon Black & Coke Group G: Dusts not included in E & F. Also, Woods, Plastics, Flour, Starch or Grain Dusts.    Temperature Classes  Hazards which will not ignite at temperatures below:    T1: 842°F/ 450°C T2: 572°F/ 300°C T3: 392°F/ 200°C T4: 275°F/135°C T5: 212°F/ 100°C T6: 185°F/ 85°C](https://hub.quadcitysafety.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bacon%20Safety%20Tips/Bacon's-Safety-Tips-C05-Flashlight-Safety%20Ratings-Infographics.jpg?width=488) ](https://hub.quadcitysafety.com/facility/blog/tips-on-choosing-eye-protection-industrial-hazards-and-solutions)
