| Abstract |
In view of the practical impossibility of eliminating all fire hazards in laboratories, the author recommends that the quantities of highly flammbale liquids (flash point below 21-25°C) kept on the premises should be strictly limited and that unbreakable vessels should be used. To protect stored liquids in case of outbreak of fire, the author recommends the use of ventilated metal cupboards which close automatically when a preselected temperature level is exceeded. Brief comments on unbreakable receptacles and their labelling. |
