Multron Indotech Safety Cans are a necessary part of compliance for safety in the workplace.
Safety Can is a useful, hardworking tool that adds convenience while facilitating safe transfer of flammable liquids ensuring the safety of personnel and protection of the facilities where they are used.
Safety Cans serve several critical functions:
Safely contain hazardous liquids and control vapors to reduce the risk of fire, protecting both personnel and facilities
Offer compliance with federal OSHA regulations and state and local fire codes
Improve efficiency with ease-of-use features to enhance pouring and filling operations
Virtually every place of business, and even homeowners, have occasion to use flammable or combustible liquids. Gasoline, chemicals, solvents, and a variety of other hazardous liquids 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. Reviewing the Material Safety Data Sheet ( MSDS) helps determine liquid characteristics and recommended safety practices.
Accidents and fire risks can be minimized by using proper safety equipment. NFPA is specific on what is required of a safety can in order for it to perform as expected under fire conditions. The basic purpose of a safety can is the control of flammable vapors, while providing a convenient means of carrying, dispensing, and storing up to five gallons of flammable liquid.
Safety cans undergo rigorous testing requirements by independent third party agencies and have received certification from Factory Mutual ( FM Approved) and Underwriters Laboratories ( UL and ULC Listed) .
Some commonly used color choices:
Red is the most widely used ( and OSHA accepted) choice for flammable liquids
Blue cans are frequently used for the storage of kerosene
Yellow cans can be used to designate the storage of diesel fuel
Green cans are often used for the storage of oils
