Here is some safety information related to working with combustible liquids.

Hazards and Risks:

Combustible liquids are liquids with a flash point greater than 60°C but less than 93°C, such as petrol, diesel, kerosene, and heating oils. These liquids can ignite and burn easily and can cause serious fires and explosions if not handled properly. Risks associated with handling combustible liquids include:

  • Fire and explosion hazards
  • Inhalation of vapours
  • Skin and eye irritation or burns
  • Slip, trip, and fall hazards
  • Exposure to toxic fumes and chemicals

Risk Control Measures:

  1. Hazard Identification and Assessment: a. Identify all potential hazards associated with combustible liquids on the worksite. b. Assess the risks associated with each hazard and prioritise the control measures accordingly.
  2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): a. Wear appropriate PPE, including fire-resistant clothing, safety glasses, gloves, and boots, when working with combustible liquids. b. Use respiratory protection if required.
  3. Storage and Handling: a. Store combustible liquids in appropriate containers, tanks or bunded areas. b. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for handling and storage. c. Use appropriate equipment and tools for transfer, dispensing and decanting of combustible liquids. d. Avoid smoking and other ignition sources around combustible liquids. e. Use suitable grounding techniques when transferring liquids.
  4. Fire Prevention: a. Ensure that fire extinguishers are readily available and in good working condition. b. Use spark-free tools when working with combustible liquids. c. Regularly inspect electrical equipment and ensure it is in good condition. d. Keep ignition sources away from combustible liquids.
  5. Emergency Procedures: a. Have an emergency response plan in place and communicate it to all workers on the worksite. b. Conduct regular emergency drills and ensure all workers are aware of the procedures to follow in the event of an emergency. c. Have appropriate first aid equipment and trained personnel on site.
  6. Training and Supervision: a. Train all workers in the hazards and risks associated with combustible liquids and the controls measures required to mitigate those hazards. b. Ensure that all workers are aware of their roles and responsibilities in relation to the SWMS. c. Provide adequate supervision to ensure that the SWMS is being followed.

Gary’s Safety Tips

Hey there, it’s your safety guy Gary, and today I want to talk about something that’s not so glamorous, but definitely important: the dangers of working with combustible liquids. Now, I know it’s not the most exciting topic in the world, but trust me when I say that paying attention to safety guidelines is crucial when working with any kind of flammable substance.

First off, let’s talk about the dangers associated with combustible liquids. The obvious one is, of course, the risk of fire. These liquids have a low flash point, meaning they can easily ignite at room temperature or even lower. This is why it’s so important to store them properly, away from any sources of ignition like sparks or open flames. One small spark can lead to a major disaster, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Another danger associated with combustible liquids is the risk of explosion. This can happen when the vapour from the liquid mixes with air in a confined space and is then ignited. The explosion can cause significant damage to property and can also be deadly to those in the area. Again, proper storage and handling is key to preventing this kind of situation from occurring.

So, what can you do to stay safe when working with combustible liquids? Here are a few recommendations:

  1. Always wear appropriate protective equipment: This includes gloves, eye protection, and a respirator if necessary. Make sure you’re also wearing non-slip shoes with good traction to prevent slips and falls.
  2. Follow all storage guidelines: Store combustible liquids in appropriate containers and make sure they’re labelled properly. Keep them away from any sources of ignition and ensure that the storage area is well-ventilated.
  3. Use appropriate tools: When working with combustible liquids, it’s important to use tools that are specifically designed for the task. This includes grounding and bonding tools, as well as non-sparking tools to prevent any accidental ignition.
  4. Follow proper procedures: Make sure you’re following the proper procedures for handling and using combustible liquids. This includes ensuring that you’re working in a well-ventilated area, avoiding smoking or using any open flames, and disposing of any waste properly.
  5. Train your employees: If you have employees who will be working with combustible liquids, make sure they’re properly trained on safety procedures and have access to appropriate safety equipment. Regular safety meetings can help reinforce these procedures and keep everyone on the same page.

At the end of the day, safety should always be your top priority when working with combustible liquids. Taking the necessary precautions can help prevent accidents and protect both you and those around you. So, don’t take any shortcuts when it comes to safety – it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Remember, accidents can happen even to the most experienced professionals. That’s why it’s important to have a plan in place for dealing with emergencies. Make sure you have fire extinguishers and other safety equipment readily available and know what to do in case of a spill or other incident.

In conclusion, working with combustible liquids can be dangerous, but it doesn’t have to be. By following the proper safety procedures and taking the necessary precautions, you can minimise the risk of accidents and ensure that everyone stays safe. So, stay vigilant, stay prepared, and always put safety first. Thanks for tuning in, and until next time, this is Gary signing off!
