What’s the most overlooked fire risk when working with Class 3 Flammable Liquids? The answer is ignition sources — and they’re not always obvious. 

In this episode, Patrick breaks down: 

  • What ignition sources really are (it’s more than open flames) 
  • Where they’re hiding in your workplace 
  • The four main types: thermal, electrical, mechanical, and chemical 
  • How to control risk using distance, signage, and training 
  • What AS 1940 says about ignition sources and cabinet safety 

Ignition sources can be silent, invisible — and devastating. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Listen now and learn how to spot and stop the spark before it starts.
