Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
–
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
–
Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–
Gasoline is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.
–
Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
–
