FAQs

Who needs flammable and combustible liquids training?

Flammable and combustible liquids training is needed by anyone who uses, stores, transfers or disposes of liquids such as gasoline, solvents, paints and aerosol products. That includes production, maintenance, warehouse and cleaning staff. Supervisors responsible for storage areas also need to understand flash points, vapor control and ignition sources.

Which OSHA standard covers flammable liquids?

OSHA's general industry standard 29 CFR 1910.106 covers the storage and handling of flammable liquids, and 29 CFR 1926.152 applies in construction. Training on the hazards of these liquids falls under the Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, which also governs labels and safety data sheets.

What's the difference between flammable and combustible liquids?

The difference between flammable and combustible liquids is flash point, the lowest temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapor to ignite. Under the long-used NFPA definition, flammable liquids flash below 100°F and combustible liquids at or above it. OSHA's current rules group most of them into flammable liquid Categories 1 through 4.

How should flammable liquids be stored at work?

Flammable liquids should be stored in approved safety cans or containers, kept closed when not in use, and placed in flammable storage cabinets or designated storage rooms. OSHA limits a single cabinet to 60 gallons of Category 1, 2 or 3 liquids or 120 gallons of Category 4. Keep storage away from ignition sources and exits.

What should you do if a flammable liquid spills?

If a flammable liquid spills, eliminate ignition sources first, increase ventilation and keep people away from the vapors. Contain small spills with absorbents from a spill kit, and dispose of soaked materials in approved containers. For large spills or any fire, evacuate, raise the alarm and follow your emergency response plan.
