What is the maximum amount of acetone that can be stored or in use in a salon or school at any one time?

The maximum amount of acetone that can be stored or in use in a salon or school at any one time is 2 gallons. This limit is established to ensure safety in environments where flammable substances are present. Acetone is a highly flammable solvent commonly used in beauty and nail products, which poses risks such as fire hazards and potential health issues if not stored and used correctly.

Maintaining this limit helps to minimize the risk of accidents and ensures that there is adequate ventilation and safety measures in place. Regulations often dictate such specific amounts to provide guidance to businesses about safe handling and storage practices for chemicals. By adhering to this regulation, salons and schools can promote a safer working environment for both employees and clients.
