What is a characteristic of ordinary hazard occupancies group 2?

In the context of ordinary hazard occupancies group 2, a significant characteristic is the presence of moderate to high quantities of combustible materials. This classification refers to facilities that have a reasonable amount of combustible content that can contribute to fire hazards, but do not reach the extremes of those categorized as high hazard occupancies.

This level of hazard reflects environments where maximum potential fire risks exist but are manageable through appropriate sprinkler system designs and other fire protection measures. Thus, identifying the combustible content as moderate to high helps in determining the necessary precautions and fire protection strategies that need to be implemented within those types of occupancies.

Other classifications mentioned, such as high combustibility with dusty materials, low content of combustibles, and the presence of flammable liquids, either pertain to different classifications of hazards or do not accurately represent the characteristics of ordinary hazard occupancies group 2.
