Flammable & Fires: are fast burning, very high
combustible liquids temperatures and usually give of thick black
toxic smoke.
Explosions: can be cause if vapour is
allowed to form and accumulate.
Flash backs: Vapours that gets ignited
somewhere else because of fumes that
“travel”
Static electricity present.
Upper and lower limits (UEL & LEL)
Flash point is unknown
Over exposure causing serious health
effects:
Inhalation can cause – Irritation to the
repertory passage, nausea, headaches,
muscle weakness, drowsiness, loss of
coordination, disorientation, confusion,
unconsciousness and death
Skin contact: can cause – natural oils from
the skin will be removed, causing the skin
to become irritated, cracked and dry which
will lead to skin rashes and dermatitis
Eye contact: will cause burning, irritation,
and eye damage.
Ingestion: can cause – irritation to the
digestive track, causing poisoning and
death.
Flammable / combustible materials include liquids OSH ACT
such as Solvents, oils, grease, tar, oil based Construction
paints, lacquers and flammable gasses Regulation 23
Flash points (temperature where the mixture of
vapours from the substance and oxygen from the
atmosphere will ignite) of different substances are
not the same (this is not an exact science but
merely an indication). The lower the flash point
the greater the fire / explosion hazard.
Always check the MSDS for the material you
work with
Ensure workers received the required chemical
hygiene and safety training.
Ensure a complete chemical inventory is
available for all material in the storage area:
- Use safer chemical alternatives where available.
-Conduct regular clean out of the storage area to
avoid the build-up of chemicals that are no longer
x x x 4 4 E21 required. 2 4 H14
-Order the minimum quantity of chemicals for the
job at hand
-Keep the working quantities to the minimum.
-Keep a register of the material that is in the
storage area.
Storage:
Ventilation:
-Storage areas must be well ventilated and it
must be kept cool.
-Mechanical ventilation must be introduced when
people are working with flammable / combustible
liquids
Good working practices must be followed:
-Control all ignition sources while working with
combustible liquids.
-Storage areas / trucks / trailers must be earthed
to avoid static electrical build up.
-Storage and consumption of food stuffs are not
allowed in areas where chemicals are used /
stored.

-Dress in the correct PPE as per MSDS.

-Work slowly and carefully
-Wipe / clean spills and residue from work
surfaces and containers.
-Wash hands before leaving the work area and
before consuming food / drink / smoking.

Emergency procedures:
Ensure people are trained in emergency
response, procedures and first aid.
Ensure a warning system is in place.
Ensure the area can be isolated.
Contain the spill, if at all possible.
Ensure the correct type of fire extinguishers are
employed at the correct locations (Consult the
Fire department where required)
Ensure spill kits are available and on stand by
Ensure the required first aid boxes, emergency
eye wash and showers are available and
operational.

Store flammable liquids in a cool well-ventilated

area away from corrosives, oxidizers and ignition
sources.
Label all containers and cabinets with appropriate
“flammable material” signs
Never smoke in an area where flammable liquids
are stored
Minimise the amount of flammable liquids are
stored.
Used only approved safety cans to store
flammable liquids
Never pour flammable liquids down a sink / drain
Dispose of flammable liquid containers in an
approved manner
Wear the appropriate PPE
Residue will remain after spills was cleaned up,
be careful
