Remember that rags contaminated with natural oils, such as linseed oil, turpentine, etc. release heat as they dry, and in an area of poor ventilation, may begin to smolder and burn. Oily rags left in a pile or box or in the rubbish may be susceptible to smoldering and burning. Ensure that any contractors or workers in your building are aware of the potential of spontaneous combustion under the right circumstances.
Go the the MA Department of Fire Services site for safety reminders when using oily rags.
