Whenever a corrosive liquid can be chemically changed to a less dangerous and more stable material, a qualified chemist of the manufacturer shall state in writing the safest and quickest method of changing the total capacity of the tank or tanks in case of a rupture, spillage or other emergency. The owner and/or operator of said tank or tanks shall keep sufficient quantities of the changing agent as hereinbefore determined so as to be readily available in the event of an emergency.
(Prior code § 92-37.4)
The name and address of the manufacturer or the nearest producer of the specific corrosive liquid being used and a placard outlining emergency first aid directions shall be posted and remain posted in a conspicuous place at the points of unloading and use and in at least one other approved location.
Oxygen-generating or self-contained air or oxygen masks having a United States Bureau of Mines or National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health approval for a minimum of one-half hour protection shall be maintained in a readily accessible location, outside the areas of probable contamination and sufficient for all personnel associated with the operation.
Additional air or oxygen containers which will provide for a minimum of one-hour use of each mask shall be kept at the location of each gas mask. All personnel that may be required to use gas masks must be required at reasonable intervals to practice their application and use. Gas masks must be kept in condition, ready for immediate use at all times with fully charged containers.
An approved repair kit with all the necessary tools, appurtenances and material required to repair a leak or replace a defective valve or other part, shall be kept in a location accessible to the tank car and outside the probable area of contamination.
Protective clothing suitable for use with the materials stored shall be provided and be kept in good condition where its use will provide effective protection against the corrosive liquid.
Gas masks, repair kit and duplicate wrenches shall be kept in a conspicuous location and shall be conspicuously labeled for immediate identification.

ARTICLE XI. RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS (15-28-490 et seq.)
The storage and handling of radioactive materials shall comply with the following provisions:
(1) Clearly visible signs warning of radiation dangers shall be placed at all entrances to areas or rooms where radioactive materials are stored, used or transported shall bear a clearly visible, appropriate warning sign. Such signs shall bear the three-bladed radiation symbol in magenta or purple on a yellow background in keeping with the practices of the United States Atomic Energy Commission.
(2) Signs are not required for the storage of manufactured articles other than liquids; such as instruments or clock dials or electronic tubes or apparatus of which radioactive materials are a component part, and luminous compounds, where securely packed in strong containers, provided the gamma radiation at any surface of the package is less than ten milliroentgen in 24 hours.
(3) When not in use, radioactive materials shall be kept in adequately shielded fire-resistive containers of such design that the gamma radiation will not exceed 20 milliroentgen per hour or equivalent to any point of readily accessible surface. Such containers shall be stored in separate rooms having a fire-resistive rating of not less than one hour.
