How should solvent-soaked rags be handled to prevent a fire?
a.Piled loosely in a corner overnight
b.Stored in a closed, labeled metal container and disposed of as hazardous waste
c.Thrown in the regular trash while still wet
d.Left spread out on wood surfaces in the sun
Explicación
Rags soaked in oil-based products or solvents can self-heat and spontaneously combust when piled up, so they must be kept in a closed metal container until proper disposal. They are handled as hazardous waste, not ordinary trash. This simple practice prevents a common cause of jobsite fires.
