This is in response to your request for a clarification of
29 CFR 1926.152(a)(1) regarding the term "approved," when explaining the type of container that can be used for handling and using flammable liquids in quantities greater than one gallon.
29 CFR 1926.32(c) provides that "approved" means sanctioned, endorsed, accredited, certified, or accepted as satisfactory by a fully constituted and a nationally recognized authority or agency. Therefore, plastic containers, which are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM), as containers of flammable liquids in quantities greater than one (1) gallon, can be accepted by OSHA as "approved."
If you need additional information or assistance, please contact Gerald P. Reidy, Director, Office of Construction and Maritime Compliance Assistance of my staff at FTS 523-8124.
