Combustible Liquids

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe storage, handling, and disposal of combustible liquids. All containers must be correctly labeled, stored in bunded areas, and kept away from ignition sources. Spill kits should be readily available, and smoking or open flames are strictly prohibited near storage or handling areas. Mechanical aids must be used for moving heavy containers, and prolonged skin contact with liquids must be avoided to prevent irritation.

Spill clean-up involves barricading the area, eliminating ignition sources, and using biodegradable detergents to clean residues. Spilt materials must be disposed of at approved recycling facilities to prevent environmental damage. In the event of a fire, evacuation to a safe area is required, and appropriate fire-fighting measures, such as water fog or foam, must be employed. These guidelines ensure safe practices and compliance with hazardous goods regulations.
