Highly flammable liquids like petrol and solvents are obvious sources of fuel but less apparent fuel sources such as sawdust and metal particles are also able to catch fire so long as the right conditions are met. This Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Guidelines aims to provide practical guidance on risk control measures that can be implemented to ensure the safety and health of workers who work with flammable materials daily. This Guidelines covers all industry sectors where flammable materials are used in smaller quantities.
