What is the maximum capacity allowed for a safety can used for flammable liquids?

• A. Five gallons
• B. Ten gallons
• C. One gallon
• D. Fifteen gallons

Answer: (A)

Five gallons. Safety cans for flammable liquids are limited to this size to minimize the amount of fuel that could be spilled or ignite in a fire, making handling and transfer safer. These cans are designed with features like a spring-loaded, self-closing cap and a flame-arresting vent to prevent vapors from igniting and to reduce spills during pouring. For larger quantities, other containers such as drums are used.
