tuleohtlikke

Tuleohtlikke is an Estonian word that translates to "flammable" or "combustible" in English. It is used to describe substances that can easily ignite and burn. The term is commonly found on safety labels, warning signs, and in technical documents related to the handling and storage of potentially hazardous materials.

Understanding the flammability of a substance is crucial for fire prevention and safety. Factors that contribute to flammability include the chemical composition of the material, its physical state (solid, liquid, or gas), and its flash point, which is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air.

Materials classified as tuleohtlikke require specific precautions. These can include storing them in cool, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources such as open flames, sparks, or heat. Proper handling procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are also essential to prevent accidents. Firefighting measures for flammable materials may differ from those for other types of fires, and the appropriate extinguishing agents should be readily available. The classification and labeling of tuleohtlikke substances are governed by national and international regulations to ensure consistent safety standards.
