It is dangerous to store, puncture, throw into an open fire, or otherwise dispose of aerosol cans, which can contain anything from starter fluid to hand cleaners. Certain paints can cause death if they are sprayed into or on the body in large enough doses or with enough force.
The risk of fire from these materials must also be taken into consideration because when atomized, a flammable liquid transforms into an explosive mixture. Due to the compressed gas used as the propellant, all aerosol cans are dangerous.
If the container is punctured, the contents may be released with enough force to cause harm. Additionally, pressurized delivery containers to a landfill raise issues with safety during compacting. Aerosol cans have some dos and don'ts; know some security tips before knowing them.
Workers who handle aerosol cans must be aware of the general risks and the risks related to the specific ingredients. They should adhere to proper disposal and storage practices, which include:
Other typical warnings on aerosol cans include skin and eye irritation, accidental swallowing, incineration or puncture, and flammability.
Although it may seem obvious, sometimes we all need a reminder. Be sure to read all safety precautions and warnings before using an aerosol product. Before using an aerosol can, always be aware of the rules.
