Hi All

We store small areosl cans that have flammable labels on them. Is there a need to lock the cupboards, are these cans are used quite frquently and by different people at different times. Would be difficult to police locking cupboards.

Any info welcome

Regards
Robert Paterson

Robert,

Not really unless minors have access.

Not really, unless unauthorised access (for example by children) might be a problem.

The main reason for having them in a cupboard is to keep them out of direct sunlight, and good housekeeping.

Can't imagine the aerosols will ever know the door is unlocked, so escape is unlikely ;-)

(There are other good reasons to keep other types of flammables in sealed containers/cupboards - but they don't really apply to spray cans)

That was uncanny Tabs. Exactly the same moment of reply to a post a day old with the same response! It's gotta be X files day!
