*What? There's a wrong way?*

Yep. The National Fire Protection Association ([NFPA 30](http://www.nfpa.org/codes-and-standards/all-codes-and-standards/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=30)) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration ([OSHA](https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_id=10673&p_table=STANDARDS)) are pretty firm on how to store these hazards. Bacon is all about facility safety, so he's sharing a few tips with you. Plus, he likes it when we listen to OSHA. Let's take a look at these tips on how to store flammable liquids.
