In this episode of Chemical Safety at Work, hosts Mel and Pat dive into a counterintuitive but crucial topic—the dangers that linger in so-called “empty” chemical containers and gas cylinders.
When chemicals are removed, is the risk gone too? Far from it. Mel and Pat uncover why these seemingly “empty” containers can still ignite fires, cause explosions, or release harmful vapours.
They explore incidents where mishandling empty containers led to accidents and share practical steps for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
