The heart of a safety can is the flame arrester, which stops an external flame propagating into the vapour inside. Without it, the can is just a metal container. The lid vents automatically as pressure rises, then reseals.
Match the type to the task: general cans for storage and transport, bottom-faucet cans for frequent small pours, dip tanks for parts cleaning, and plunger cans for wetting cloth or swabs. Choose steel or PE according to how corrosive the liquid is.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Must I use a safety can instead of a normal container?
Above certain quantities, many safety codes require an approved safety can for flammable liquids. Confirm the threshold that applies to your site with your local regulation and internal safety rules.
Do the colours mean anything?
They are a conventional colour code for identifying contents on site — red for petrol, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene are common — but not legally mandated. Follow your site labelling standard.
