OSHA is the abbreviation of Occupational Health and Safety Administration, which usually refers to OSHA 29 CFR1910, which is OSHA's occupational safety and health regulations. Codes and standards for safe product storage include: Specification for Flammable and Combustible Liquids 1910.106; Supplementary Requirements for Flammable Liquids and Liquids with Flash Points Above 199.4°F (93°C) for Dipping and Spraying Operations 1910.125; for marking physical hazards characteristic.
Combustible liquid:
Combustible liquids are chemical liquids classified as Class II and III [with a flash point of 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8°C), as shown in the diagram on this page.
Flammable liquid：
Flammable liquids refer to Class I chemical liquids (flash point <100°f (37.8℃)), which belong to Classes IA~IC. See the schematic diagram on this page for details.
OSHA29CFR1910.106(d)(3)(i&ii) Safety Storage Cabinet Design, Construction, and Storage Capacity (i) Maximum capacity single safe, capable of storing up to 60 gallons (230L) of Class I or Class II chemical liquids, capable of storing up to 120 gallons (460L) Class III chemical liquids; (ii) Fire safety storage cabinets must be designed and constructed to limit the internal temperature of the cabinet to below 162.7°C (325°F).
According to NFPA251-1969 "Fire Test Standard for Building Structures and Materials", the standard time-temperature curve evaluation method is used to conduct a 10-minute fire test. After burning, all connections and joints in the safety cabinet should be kept tightly connected, and the cabinet door should be kept safely closed. Safety cabinets need to be marked with a prominent warning label "Flammable - Keep Fire" (Flammable - Keep away from sources of fire). (A) Use the following method to design and manufacture steel safety lockers: the bottom, top, door and both sides of the cabinet are made of double-layer steel plates. A 38 mm hollow air layer is maintained between the two steel plates. The steel plate material used is at least 1.0cm ( 18 specification) thick steel plate, the cabinet door adopts three-point interlocking, and the bottom of the cabinet door is not less than 5.08cm (2").
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106(a)(29)
A safety tank is a storage tank with a capacity of less than 5.3 gallons (20 liters). It has a spring-sealed lid that safely relieves the tank's internal pressure in the event of a fire.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.125
Liquid-soaked rags and rags should be thrown into the trash can immediately after use, and ** in the trash can should be properly disposed of after each shift.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.144
(a) Color Identification—(1) Red shall be the basic color for safety identification. (II) For containers used in hazard classification calculations, safety cans or other portable storage containers for liquids with a flash point of 80°For less (27°C) and tabletop containers for flammable liquids (as measured by an open cup) shall be coated Red, a clearly identifiable yellow band tank label shall be provided, or the name of the liquid in the container shall be clearly stenciled or painted in yellow text on the barrel.
