The National Fire Protection Association reports that in 2018 alone, there were 500,000 structural fires reported in the United States – equivalent to one fire every 63 seconds. Justrite and Eagle’s safety cans significantly reduce accidents and fire hazards, creating a safer work environment and ensuring the well-being of individuals.

Fire prevention

Safety cans are designed to minimize the risk of fires when handling hazardous liquids. They contain vapors and prevent spills, reducing the chance of accidental ignition.

Regulatory compliance

Using approved safety cans helps businesses comply with OSHA regulations, state and local fire codes, and other safety standards.

Durability

Safety cans are constructed from materials like galvanized steel or high-density polyethylene, making them resistant to damage, corrosion, and heavy use.

Controlled pouring

Many safety cans, especially Type II cans, feature designs that allow for precise pouring, reducing the risk of spills and improving efficiency.

Proper identification

Safety cans often come in different colors to help easily identify the contents, further reducing the risk of mishandling.

Protection in case of fire

In the event of a fire, safety cans are designed to safely relieve internal pressure, preventing explosions that could occur with non-approved containers.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

Complies with OSHA, NFPA, IFC, and FM approved. Poly cans are FM approved.

Certified from Underwriters Laboratories (UL/ULC), and TÜV SÜD. Cans are pressure tested to UL regulatory standards.

Leak-proof, self-closing lid with gasket allows vapor escape to prevent rupture in a fire and guards against spills.

Trilingual Warning label provides important instructions and precautions in English, Spanish and French.

DURABILITY

24-gauge galvanized US steel with rugged, chemical-resistant powder-coat finish, stands up to rigorous use.

Stainless steel flame arrester stops flashback ignition. Long 3-1/2-in (88-mm) length offer safe secure insertion of gas nozzle.

100% leak tested lid. Every safety can is tested under pressure to ensure it will not leak.

Deep draw design with a double interlock “no weld” bottom seam for a better seal.

EASE OF USE

Considerations

Justrite and Eagle Benefits

What is the difference between a Type I and Type II safety can?

Justrite and Eagle both have Type I and Type II safety cans.

• Type I safety cans have one opening from which to fill and pour into a larger receiving vessel.
• Type II safety cans have two openings: a top opening with a lift lever for filling and a second one with a flexible metal hose attached for controlled, glug-free dispensing into smaller openings.

What safety features should I look for?

These are the safety features included in a Justrite or Eagle can:

• Automatic positive-pressure relief vent vapor between 3 and 5 psig (0.2 and 0.35 bar) internal pressure to prevent rupture (or explosion in event of fire).

• Stainless steel flame arrestors to prevent flashback ignition and explosions when handling flammable liquids.

• Yellow band around can body (Justrite cans only)—warns of danger and includes large area for content identification.

What safety regulations or compliance should I look for?

Our cans are designed to meet these safety and regulatory specifications:

• Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA)

•  National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Fire Code (IFC)
