Flammable Storage in Refrigerators and Freezers

Flammable Storage in Refrigerators and Freezers: The storage of flammable materials in labs can be challenging, particularly when these items require controlled temperature conditions.  Storage of flammable items in refrigerators and freezers can be exceptionally hazardous due to the potential for flammable vapor concentrations to accumulate in these units.  Please see the fact sheet for information on safe storage of flammable materials in these units.  The fact sheet can be downloaded from SciShield here: https://umass.scishield.com/raft/document/7d70cafc-9ca3-4b63-bd7d-96f259...
