Toxic Spill Burns

We all know liquid gasoline is flammable; however, its vapors alone are also highly flammable. Whenever gasoline is released from a container, whether poured into another container or pumped into up your vehicle’s gas tank, gasoline vapors are released. Any type of electric charge, static electricity, flame, spark, or other direct or indirect fume ignition can cause these vapors into a full-blown fire event. This can result in severe burns.

There are industry standards for gasoline containers, as well as the recently enacted Children’s Gasoline Burns Prevention Act (effective January 2009), which requires child resistant gasoline containers.

There are many examples of gas spills resulting in fires and burn injuries:

• Gasoline containers which leak or fail 
• Faulty gas lines 
• Industrial Plant explosions 
• Compressed flammable gasses, such as hydrogen, petroleum, gasoline, methane, natural gas 
• Construction Accidents 
• defective products 

Burns resulting from gasoline spills or other toxic substance spills can result in fuel-fed fires or chemical burns, which can lead to severe, permanent, debilitating injuries or even death.
