More danger, less safety? The new inflation
of flammability warning symbols on Aerosol cans
It’s a helpful tool for every maintenance person,
the aerosol can. They can bring it to each area of the plant to loosen bolts or
lubricate equipment. During maintenance, it’s not unusual for
sparks to fly (grinding or cutting metal pieces) or open flames to be present
(welding or flame cutting). As a result, the safe choice for maintenance
personnel was, until now, using an aerosol can, which is non-flammable.
How do I know how flammable my aerosol really is? Look
at the small print on the label to find out how dangerous the aerosol can
really be. This small print is available in all official EU languages.
