Hazardous substances sit side-by-side in your garage and they don’t mix well with others:
- Store dangerous chemicals including automotive fluids, pesticides, charcoal lighter, paint thinner, pool chemicals, anti freeze, and turpentine – in containers with child-resistant caps, in locked cabinets.
- Wear gloves and a mask when handling these chemicals, and do not mix together. Keep these products in their original containers.
- Gasoline is highly flammable and should be stored in small quantities in a tightly sealed, approved safety container and away from appliances with a pilot light, such as a hot water heater. Keep it in a separate, locked shed if possible.
