When your workers handle liquids that are flammable, carcinogenic, or otherwise dangerous to people and equipment, they need the proper safety supplies. This includes containers that will isolate the materials when not in use. Make sure your workplace safety program is up to code with industrial safety containers. Magid® offers hazmat containers for waste disposal technicians, fleet mechanics, chemical plant workers, and other occupations that require stringent safety protocols.
Several options are available to accommodate hazardous material handling requirements. Per NFPA and OSHA, safety cans have a capacity of five gallons or less with a spout-style cover and spring-closing lid to secure them shut. They also have positive pressure relief to automatically lower internal pressure when they are exposed to fire or high heat. Safety drums and salvage drums have a much higher capacity — typically either 55 or 110 gallons — for when you have bigger storage needs or need to dispose of other containers.
Safety containers are made of heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel or galvanized steel with corrosion-resistant hardware to lower the risk of leaks. They typically have a yellow or red exterior to indicate caution. When dealing with hazardous waste, you may also want an aerosol can filter that removes harmful airborne contaminants.
At Magid®, we offer hazardous material containers that comply with federal OSHA and NFPA standards for safe performance. Many safety cans and drums are also FM-approved and UL-listed to meet various state laws and insurance demands.
