Chemical Categories: Flammable
Some pointers for storage of f lammable mater ials:
Store in approved safety cans or cabinets Segregate from oxidizing acids and oxidizers. Keep away from any source of ignition: flames,heat or sparks. Know where fire fighting equipment is stored and
how to use. If volatile flammable liquids are stored in arefrigerator it must be in an explosion-proof (lab-safe) refrigerator.

2. Health Effects of Chemicals
a. Chemical Burns (strong acids, strong bases)
b. Heat Burns (flammable materials)
c. Poisoning (many chemicals are damaging orfatal if taken internally, whether byswallowing, injection, or leaching throughskin)
d. Chronic illness (long-term exposure to evenlow doses of certain chemical agents canlead to chronic health conditions)
