Every year, many employees suffer severe burns followed by weeks of painful treatment. Many are left with permanent scarring because of workplace accidents with flammable liquids. There are, however, many thousands of other employees who have worked with highly dangerous flammable liquids for years and never experienced an injury. Most flammable liquid accidents are easily preventable. In order to prevent them, we must be responsible and encourage habits that protect those around us and ourselves.
Accidents involving the use of flammable liquids usually occur because:
? the volatility of a flammable liquid, and the vapours it produces, are not understood; and
? the safe handling and storage precautions are not known.
