<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Joosep,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">this depends on your local fire safety regulations; in principle, ethanol itself does not burn, but the highly flammable ethanol fumes. Depending on your HVAC system, a sufficiently high air exchange rates in your alcohol storage
significantly reduces potential fire risks. Another relevant factor is reducing potential ignition sources, as ethanol usually does not self-ingnite. It needs a spark.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">In case of breakage, it is required in some countries that there are grooves or barriers, e.g. at doors to prevent that in case of a larger spillage ethanol can escape from the storage room. However, these grooves or small barriers
usually affect much more, e.g. when you have to wheel carts over these barriers.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Storage rooms should be equipped with small emergency kits that help to remove spillages; there are several chemical spill kits with binders etc. on the market.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">To create a combustible atmosphere it usually requires a "large spillage", e.g. a major earthquake or collapse of storage shelves that knocks off hundreds of jars at once.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hope this helps</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">How have you solved the safety of the rooms for fluid specimen? If the cans break, are there any grooves where the liquids run or how do you dispose of such things? What quantities have you considered in case something like that happens?<o:p></o:p></p>
