Final Examination
Frequently Asked Questions
Failure to control ignition sources, improper storage, and a lack of understanding of vapor behavior are the leading causes that this course will cover.
When flammable liquids are involved, only trained professionals or workers should do the work. Because risks are high, an untrained person can cause a serious fire and be stuck in a life-or-death situation. Even a small mistake, such as the one mentioned below, can lead to catastrophic incidents such as the following:
- improper storage
- incorrect labeling
- poor ventilation
- static electricity discharge
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 and NFPA 30 require employees to understand the properties of flammable liquids, recognize ignition sources, and follow safe handling practices to prevent accidents.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
This course is ideal for:
- Employees who handle, store, or dispense flammable or combustible liquids.
- Workers in general industry facilities (warehouses, manufacturing, maintenance).
- Safety managers and supervisors responsible for hazard communication and fire prevention.
- Employees required to comply with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard.
- New hires who may be exposed to flammable liquids during their duties.
- Anyone involved in transferring, mixing, or transporting flammable liquids on the job.
- Covers OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 and NFPA 30 compliant safety practices.
- Discusses flammable liquid hazards, including vapors, static electricity, and ignition sources.
- Explains proper storage, handling, and transfer techniques.
- Will create a workplace safety culture and reduce the risk of fires and explosions.
- Enhance employee awareness of spill management procedures.
- Receive industry-specific guidance applicable to general industry worksites.
There is no specific requirement under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 that requires refresher training for this course. However, many employers and safety professionals still prefer to conduct periodic refresher training, particularly in workplaces where these liquids are used daily, transferred, or stored in significant quantities. Although it is not legally required, refresher training is strongly recommended as an industry best practice, especially in active facilities.
This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements outlined in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.106 for general industry preparedness. It also incorporates educational guidance from the NFPA 30.

I appreciated the focus on OSHA and NFPA compliance. The training reinforced best practices and increased my confidence in identifying potential fire hazards in our facility.
For a short course, it was very comprehensive, easy to follow, and covered key topics, I would say. Lots of examples of fire hazards and safe handling procedures.
I found the sections on fire protection and portable fire extinguishers extremely useful. The detailed explanation of extinguisher types, labeling, and placement will improve our emergency preparedness program.
A highly valuable course for anyone working with flammable liquids. It clarified regulatory requirements and highlighted personal and workplace safety in an interesting way.
