What type of locations have low hazard due to low quantity and combustibility of materials?

The classification of Light (Low) Hazard Locations is based on the quantity and combustibility of materials present. In these settings, the materials that are involved generally have a lower potential for fire hazards due to their limited quantity and inherent properties. Facilities categorized as Light Hazard typically include places where the materials stored or used in operations are non-combustible or of limited combustibility, such as offices, libraries, and some types of storage areas.

This classification helps first responders assess the potential risk level when approaching a fire scenario or planning fire protection measures. Understanding the fire load—how combustible materials are managed and whether they are stored in significant amounts—further supports minimizing fire hazards in these environments. Consequently, identifying a location as a Light (Low) Hazard allows for better resource allocation and risk assessment during fire prevention and firefighting strategies.
