Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the standard, however. They are as follows:

• Retail facilities
• Oil or gas well drilling or servicing operations
• Normally unoccupied remote facilities
• Hydrocarbon fuels used solely for workplace consumption (if such fuels are not a part of a process that contains another acutely hazardous chemical)
• Flammable liquids that are either stored in atmospheric tanks or transferred, that are kept below their normal boiling point without chilling or refrigeration, and that are not part of a process
