Inside Risk: Aerosols – managing the property fire risk

Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace. However, aerosols can also contain flammable substances as well as pressurised flammable propellants, such as propane or butane which can easily ignite and lead to rapid fire spread. In a fire, containers can rupture, producing jets of flame and projectiles, spreading the fire, and making firefighting more difficult. The smoke from the resulting fire can pose additional health risks. Robust property loss controls are therefore needed to manage the storage and handling of aerosols.Aerosols are a familiar sight in our daily lives, providing the easy application of deodorant, cleaning materials, paint or other products in our home or workplace.
