Oily Rags, Construction, Fast

Oily rags can release heat as they dry and if the heat is not released into the air, it builds up – this is why a pile of oily rags can be dangerous. As the rags dry, the heat gets trapped, builds up, and can cause a fire. This 1-page safety meeting topic, with 2 discussion questions, can be used to host a safety meeting or toolbox talk to review examples of flammable and combustible liquids, why and how oily rags can be a fire hazard, and how to handle oily rags safely.
