Disposing of Hazardous, BioHazard and Oily Waste Safely
When working around shops, garages and labs you are going to use chemicals that are flammable, oily, hazardous and even contagious or non-contagious bio hazards. Wiping up spills or disposing of the rags and by-products of used supplies needs to be handled properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do oily waste cans have self-closing lids?
Self-closing lids are a fire safety requirement. Oil-soaked rags can spontaneously combust — the self-closing lid limits oxygen inside the can, preventing fires. FM (Factory Mutual) and UL-approved waste cans meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 requirements.
What color safety can do I need?
OSHA and NFPA color standards: Red = flammable liquids (gasoline, solvents). Yellow = diesel fuel. Blue = kerosene. Green = oil/combustibles. Using the correct color prevents dangerous mix-ups.
