GoatThroat recommends adherence to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30 Code for Equipment in use with Flammable Liquids and the Life Safety Code 101 . Dispenser capacity must be limited to 1.2 or 2.0 liters depending on the dispenser location, and no more than 10 gallons may be stored within a single smoke compartment. Consult your local fire authority for specific regulations.

HAND SANITIZER SELECTION AND USE CONSIDERATIONS
• Be careful and check ingredients before purchasing hand sanitizer. There are many hand sanitizer products that don’t meet the effective ingredient standard!
• Hand sanitizer is flammable. Be very mindful of where you place and store product, and have a plan in place for spillage
• Follow all instructions regarding storage provided by the supplier and keep Safety Data Sheet on file
• If you are refilling dispensers, utilize a proper Sanitizer Bottle Refill Procedure document

REFILLING DISPENSERS FROM BULK CONTAINERS
• Due to a bottle shortage, this is an accepted methodology to mitigate risks associated with refilling Hand Sanitizer. This procedure applies to Hand Sanitizer only, and only the identical contents may be refilled into the bottle. This is to ensure that the label declarations remain consistent.
• Refilled bottles are meant for circulation for up to 90 days. Any bottles showing any physical damage to the bottle, pump or label during the first 90 days should be discarded. Please attach a sticker with the date of first refill somewhere on the bottle.
• . There must be a cleanable stainless steel (or similar) surface table where the bottles are properly sanitized, refilled and resanitized using the proper steps.
