Hazard:
Many of our vehicles contain extremely flammable chemicals like the smoke check can seen here. During hot weather conditions aerosols and compressed flammables are extremely volatile to heat & may rupture.
Preventative Measures:
- Do not store these chemicals in direct sun light or near flammable materials like the cloth rag this can is laying on. -Store containers where they will not be punctured by equipment or materials being dropped on them.
- Dispose of empty containers immediately after use. Even an empty spray can has enough chemical residue to build vapor pressure when exposed to direct sunlight.
- Refer to chemical container labels and the products Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for fire hazards. Always know where your fire extinguisher is located!
