Part One
An Overview: A Safety Can is not just a metal liquid storage can. To be used in everyday applications, they must meet rigid regulations, approvals and guidelines for the utmost in safety and handling. The variables can be complex.
There are unlimited varieties, models and types to select from to meet the specific needs of liquid handling, dispensing and storage.
Questions of importance:
- Do you have approved safety containers for the safe use and temporary storage of flammable liquids?
- Are they in sound operating condition, leak tight, with flame arresters intact?
- Do you have nonmetallic safety cans where abusive or corrosive conditions exist or oval safety cans where shelf space is limited?
- Do you have any open containers or hazardous liquids being used in your cleaning applications?
- Do you have laboratory cans or faucet cans for safer transfers of flammables from dispensing containers?
- Do you have adequate means of electrically bonding your containers during filling operations?
What is the difference between Type I and Type II Safety Cans?
Type I safety cans only have 1 opening – pour & fill from the same opening. Type II safety cans have 2 openings – one for pouring and one for filling – the fill opening serves as a vent when pouring.
