Dear Ms. St. John:
This is in response to your recent letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's New York Regional Office concerning storage of combustible liquids.
The Department of Transportation does not specifically regulate packaging of combustible liquids in quantities of 110 gallons or less. However, use of any metal container which meets DOT specifications for use with flammable liquids and which is no larger than 60 gallons satisfies 29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2) and Table H-12, with regard to the requirement for use of metal drums made to DOT specifications.
Thank you for your interest in occupational safety and health. If I may be of further assistance, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Grover C. Wrenn
Director, Federal Compliance
and State Programs
