Rank: Super forum user		I'm in the middle of writing a risk assessment and recomending that products that may react should be disposed via different containers. I'm thinking of flamable liquids and oxidisers and products like teak oil but can't remember if there is a group name for stuff that goes woof on it's own. Any ideas or should I just classify them POL's

Rank: Super forum user		Hi Jane, No, it's not one of those. I've just looked that up and what I'm thinking of is more along the lines of oily rags
