Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for the storage, handling, transport, and disposal of flammable liquids. Flammable liquids must be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas, away from ignition sources, with appropriate placards displayed according to their classification and quantity. Decanting and handling should occur in ventilated areas, using earthing straps to prevent static electricity. Workers must wear PVC gloves, aprons, and eye protection to avoid skin and eye irritation.

Transport precautions include securing containers to prevent movement, providing ventilation, and carrying fire extinguishers. Spills require immediate elimination of ignition sources, containment, and cleanup with absorbent materials handled as flammable waste. Disposal must occur at approved facilities, with all containers properly labeled. Compliance with the ADG Code is mandatory for labeling and vehicle load identification. These measures ensure safety and regulatory adherence in managing flammable liquids.
