How should you dispose of rags and other materials used to clean the range?
Keeping a range clean is a necessity. So is properly disposing of the dirty rags and other soiled cloths used in the process. Here, Hannah Niane, alias the OSHA Lady, gives advice on how to dispose properly of these materials, based on the knowledge she has accrued as principal of a private consulting firm and as a former longtime official with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. She now offers her services as one of NSSF’s Range Action Specialists. |
