The Vapors. Every work site has flammable and combustible liquids. A flammable liquid is much more volatile than a combustible one, meaning its vapors or fumes can ignite at temperatures below 100Â°F and some even lower than 32Â°F. Some common work site flammable liquids include gasoline, alcohols, lacquer thinners and some paint thinners.
