    Answer;

    -Prohibited from use by OSHA

    Explanation;

    -Carbon tetrachloride is a clear and colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of chloroform. It is employed as a chemical reagent for a number of purposes, as a raw material in chemical manufacture and is, used very widely as a reagent to extinguish fires.

    -It volatizes very easily, is a non-conductor of electricity and, as noted above, freezes at very low temperatures.

    -It is effective, due to the blanketing effect of its vaporized fumes, on many Class B or volatile, flammable liquid fires and because it will mix with certain volatile, flammable liquids and form a non-burning combination.
