Dear Mr. Johnson:
Thank you for your letter of March 1, 1983, concerning the storage of paint thinner in plastic one-gallon containers in a retail store.
According to Table H-12 of 29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2), paint thinner with a flash point of 105 F, being a Class II combustible, would be permitted to be stored in approved plastic one-gallon containers. In any case, when being retailed, paint thinner would be considered a common consumer item, and according to the note below Table H-12, would be exempt when packaged in approved plastic containers.
Other possible items to be considered as common consumer items would have to be individually evaluated.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hllenbrand
Acting Director, Federal Compliance
and State Programs
