Flammable and combustible liquids are liquids that can burn easily. However, this is mainly due to the vapors that are given off by flammable liquids – which can ignite and cause fire and explosion – and not the liquid itself. This course is intended for employees who work in environments where flammable liquids are used and stored. It covers the OSHA and NFPA standards for safe handling of flammable liquids, as well as best practices for storing and working safely around flammable liquids. This course was developed with subject matter support provided by EnSafe Inc., a global professional services company focusing on engineering, environment, health and safety, and information technology. Please note, the course materials and content were current with the laws and regulations at the time of the last expert review, however, they may not reflect the most current legal developments.
