Flammable Liquids Videos

A collection of flammable liquid safety videos.   If you have ANY amount of flammable liquids, these are a MUST SEE for the workers who work with and around flammable liquids.  Most of the segments are VERY SHORT (<1 minute) and are designed to be used as safety talks.  Some are from the Chemical Safety Board and are more detailed training for those facilities who store and handle flammables in a flammable liquids process. I use them in my 3 & 5 days flammable liquid training courses.  SOME THINGS DO NOT CHANGE - some of these videos are from the 1940's and 60's and STILL TODAY depict the hazards of flammable liquids!

An excellent video demonstrating how flammable vapors that are heavier than air (e.g. Vapor Density > 1) move and ignite from an ignition source a distance away from the liquid.

 This is an excellent video that shows us that SURFACE AREA of the flammable liquid MATTERS, thus the importance of SECONDARY CONTAINMENT or better, the use of an impounding basin AWAY from the container(s).  Later in the video, we can see why Flammable Liquids and Oxidizers should be SEGREGATED.

 

Finally - it is said by the most reliable flammable liquid experts... "alligator clamps" are not made for bonding and grounding! 

SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF when you're dealing with flammable liquids... milli-joules matter!

Another incident at a fuel pump where the customer exited their vehicle while the gasoline was flowing and reached for the nozzle, only to ignite the vapors exiting the tank via their static electricity.  The customer then made another critical error by removing the nozzle and spreading the fire.  It certainly looks as if the nozzle was still open when she removed it.
