About Safety-Kleen Corporation
Safety-Kleen Corporation is the world's largest recycler of automotive and industrial fluid wastes. Safety-Kleen offers a Parts Washer Service, Fluid Recovery Service, Oil Recovery Service, Paint Refinishing Service, Dry Cleaner Service, and Imaging Service.
The Parts Washer Service is the largest part of Safety-Kleen's business. Safety-Kleen provides customers a parts washer machine, which it periodically fills with solvent, removing the used ("dirty") solvent, which it recycles for further use. Safety-Kleen provides two basic types of parts washers and solvents to its customers: a mineral-spirits based solvent for degreasing parts, and an immersion cleaner for parts which require special cleaning.
The Safety-Kleen parts washer machines are all essentially a "sink-on-a-drum." The machines consist of a tank partially filled with Safety-Kleen 105 Solvent, a pump to pump solvent through a hose with a brush attached to it, and a sink in which the operator scrubs parts to degrease and clean them with the recycled solvent.
As a result of the ordinary use of the machine, workers inhale toxic vapors from solvent aerosols which form as the solvent flows through the hose into the air in an open system, and from vapors which form as volatile components evaporate in the air. Also as a result of the ordinary and intended use of the machine, solvent splashes onto the skin of workers operating the machine. The parts washer machines are commonly used in industry, often in conjunction with an air hose, which blow-dries parts which have been degreased in the machine. It has also been a customary practice in industry for workers to wash their hands using the parts washer machine.
