Oily Waste Cans & Containers

Oily Waste Cans & Containers

First Aid and Safety has an oily waste can and an assortment of oily waste containers available to help keep your workplace safe. These products can help you dispose of oil soaked rags and protect your facility from fires that can start due to:
*Spontaneous combustion
*Sparks
*Careless use of smoking material

An OSHA compliant oily waste can or waste oil containers are essential whenever solvent cloths and wiping rags are used. Rags and cloths soaked with solvents, thinners, linseed oil, combustible adhesives and other flammable liquids present a serious fire risk when improperly discarded. The specially designed lid opens no more than 60 degrees and stays closed when not in use, isolating contents from fire sources and limiting oxygen so spontaneous combustion risk is virtually eliminated. Round construction and elevated bottom encourage circulation of air around can to disperse heat and reduce moisture build-up and rusting.
