A medical assistant finds a bottle in the storage room with a hazard label displaying a flame over a circle. What specific handling precaution is most appropriate based on this symbol?
Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and cool place
Use personal protective equipment when handling
Refrigerate after opening
Store away from combustible materials
The correct answer, 'Store away from combustible materials', is appropriate as the flame over a circle symbol signifies an oxidizing agent, which can cause or intensify a fire, particularly in the presence of combustible materials. Understanding this symbol helps ensure that it is stored in a manner that reduces the risk of initiating or exacerbating a fire. Operators should not store oxidizers with flammable substances, as this could lead to a dangerous reaction. The other options are typical safety precautions but do not directly address the risk associated with oxidizing agents indicated by this specific symbol.
