Storing or transporting flammable liquids—even in “safety cans” cannot be done safely when the can is placed in the trunk or closed compartments of any vehicle. Filling containers with gasoline while the container is in the bed of a truck or trunk of a car can allow static electric spark to set off gasoline fumes.
What are flammable liquids?
- A flammable liquid is a combustible liquid that ignites readily in air at room temperature, meaning that it has a flash point that is equal to or lower than the nominal threshold temperatures established by a variety of national and international standards bodies.
- A liquid is considered flammable by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States Department of Labor if its flash point is 199.4 °F or lower.
- OSHA formerly defined flammable liquids as those with a flash point below 100 °F before aligning regulations with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) in 2012.
Those were categorized as flammable liquids if their flash points were more than 100 °F and lower than 200 °F.
