When it comes to Class 3 Flammable Liquids, it’s not the liquid itself that burns — it’s the vapours. And once they’re in the air, the risk multiplies. 

In this episode, Patrick Gee breaks down: 

  • Why flammable vapours pose the real danger 
  • Flash point, flashback, explosive range and auto-ignition 
  • The health risks of common flammable liquids like petrol, acetone, and benzene 
  • How vapour exposure can affect workers — and the environment 
  • What to look for in your Safety Data Sheet (SDS) 
  • The right way to store, segregate, and secure flammable liquids 

Whether you're managing petrol, methylated spirits or solvents, this episode helps you go beyond the basics to understand the full risk — and what to do about it.
