🔥Each year, the American Burn Association sheds light on burn safety. This year, the focus is on burns caused by flammable liquids – gasoline, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, lighter fluid, hand sanitizer, and cooking oils are just a few examples. New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)'s Environmental Health and Safety Department would like to share the following ways to stay safe at work from flammable liquids. #NYCHAemployees should keep in mind:The quantity of flammable or combustible liquids being stored and how they are being stored, whether it is rack storage, shelf storage palletized, or stacked. Fire prevention is especially important when flammable and combustible liquids are used. Make sure you understand how to identify, handle, and store flammable and combustible liquids.The type of containers for flammable and combustible liquids can be stored in varies greatly; some examples of acceptable container material include metal, plastic, or glass. The storage container material will also dictate the volume of the container that the liquid can be stored in. To avoid dangerous sparks caused by static electricity, containers of flammable liquids must be properly grounded and bonded while dispensing the liquid. Fire extinguishers must be available where flammable and combustible liquids are stored. Always observe “no smoking” signs where these liquids are present.Read more to learn how to stay safe and prevent accidents. 👇https://on.nyc.gov/3IAty39
