n Preventing Static Electricity Accidents
The best way to prevent static electricity accidents is simply to prevent the occurrence
and accumulation of electrostatic charges.
It is important to take multiple preventive measures simultaneously.
If large amounts of flammable solvents are collected in a large container,
implement preventive measures 1 - 5 below.
Preventive Measure 1
Use a conductive metal container for the waste liquid, and ground the container.
This will ensure that the electrical charges of the container and liquid pass to the ground.
<Optional accessories for this measure>
• Grounding wire with clip
• 18 liter metal container
• 4 liter metal container
Be sure to ground the metal waste container properly.
If the grounding wire is not properly attached or connected to the ground,
static electricity can build up in the container.
Be sure to use a tester to verify that electricity is conducted to the ground.
Some metal containers have surfaces that are laminated or oxidized, and
therefore do not conduct electricity.
If the liquid to be drained into the waste container is virtually
non-conductive (10
conductive, and therefore safe, liquid to the tank.
This conductive liquid may be added to the waste container beforehand.
