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.
