Proper disposal of oily rags is critical to workplace safety. Solvent-soaked materials, if not handled correctly, pose significant fire hazards. With the SAI-U® Manual Desktop Oily Waste Can WC002R, you can ensure a safer workspace while complying with safety standards like OSHA. This compact, manual open-lid waste can is the ideal solution for managing hazardous materials, offering safety, efficiency, and convenience.
Oily rags are highly flammable due to their chemical composition. Factors like poor air circulation, extended storage, and excessive heat buildup can increase the chances of spontaneous combustion. Improper disposal can lead to severe consequences, including:
Spontaneous Combustion: Heat from oxidation can cause rags soaked in oil or solvents to ignite.
Fire Spread: Exposed rags can transmit fire when near heat sources or sparks.
Regulatory Penalties: Failure to comply with safety guidelines from OSHA or other organizations can result in fines or legal action.
To mitigate these risks, the SAI-U® WC002R provides a compact, reliable, and fire-resistant solution for safe oily rag disposal.
1. Compact, Desktop-Friendly Design
The WC002R is specially designed for use on workbenches or countertops. Its compact size (232 mm x ⊘244 mm) ensures it fits easily into small spaces, making it perfect for industrial, workshop, or laboratory environments.
2. Manual Open Lid for Safety and Convenience
The manual open lid allows for quick and easy disposal of solvent-soaked materials such as wipes, cotton swabs, and small brushes. The secure lid reduces oxygen flow into the container, effectively preventing combustion and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
3. Elevated Bottom for Heat Dissipation
The can’s elevated bottom design promotes air circulation beneath the container, preventing heat buildup. This reduces the risk of spontaneous combustion, offering an additional layer of safety.
4. Durable and Lightweight Construction
Built with premium materials, the WC002R is robust enough to handle hazardous materials while remaining lightweight at just 2.4 kg (N.W.). Its durable construction ensures long-term performance in demanding environments.
5. No Liner Bags for Maximum Safety
SAI-U recommends not using liner bags in oily waste cans. Liners can interfere with the lid’s ability to close fully, allowing oxygen to enter and potentially defeating the fire-prevention mechanism.
