Combustibles such as cleaning rags and compounds shall be kept in what type of containers?

Closed metal containers
Glass containers
Open plastic containers
Paperboard containers

The correct answer is: Closed metal containers

Combustibles such as cleaning rags and compounds should be kept in closed metal containers to reduce the risk of fire. When exposed to heat, open plastic, paperboard, or glass containers can easily catch fire and spread, while metal containers are less likely to. Furthermore, plastic containers can melt and release harmful chemicals when exposed to fire. Glass and paperboard containers may also break and cause spills, increasing the risk of fire. Therefore, closed metal containers are the safest option for storing combustibles.
