Even though you may be purchasing a drum that meets the United Nations criteria for shipping hazardous materials, the proper closure of the drum is the final and most important part of the regulation. In fact, the US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, paragraph 178.2(c), requires that packaging manufacturers give current written instruction to the fillers about the proper closure procedure for their “manufacturer-specific” packaging. Closure Instructions are not generic. While every SKOLNIK order is shipped with written Closure Instructions, you can now view a video of the Closed Head and Open Head Closure with Bolt Ring, and the Open Head Closure with Quick Lever Instructions. In addition, written Closure Instructions are also available in Spanish. Check out all our Closure Instruction options at Skolnik.com and call us if you need further clarification or would like to receive additional information for your record keeping.
