INTRODUCTION: |
Virtually every place of business, and even homeowners, have opportunity to use flammable or combustible liquids. Gasoline, chemicals, solvents, etc… are found in varying amounts and locations. Whereas these liquids are relatively commonplace, it is important to understand the dangers they present and the special storage and handling procedures required to ensure safe usage.
Moreover, transport of dangerous liquids require special protection and only UN agreed containers can ensure a high level of security. Safety containers differ from secure containers by the following safety equipments:
- An internal wire mesh flame arrester is fitted into the spout and prevents flames to enter into the container.
- A pressure relief prevents any risk of explosion.
- Normalised labels allow separating and recognizing the different products and therefore avoid possible risk of confusion.
Safety data sheets must also be close to the working place allowing the rescue team to work with efficiency. |

INTRODUCTION |
| For personal and goods safety, it is necessary to equip all working areas with fire-protection equipments. Safety ashtrays and waste bins are useful to extinguish the fire by lack of oxygen within the container. As for safety blankets, when draped over a fire, they starve the fire of oxygen, leading to rapid extinction. It can be used to wrap around a person whose clothes are on fire or to wrap around a burning object for removal to a safe place. |

NORMALIZATION: |
Eropean Norm En 1869-1997: |
| This norm indicates that a fire blanket must be able to resist to a heat of 370°C done by a fresh fuel (such as edible soya bean oil or rapeseed oil. The electric resistance must be under 1 ohm. |
