Best Answer

The lower the flashpoint, the more readily flammable it is. If a worker knows that a chemical has a low flashpoint, the worker would know that a fire or explosion can more easily be ignited at normal working temperatures and conditions, give and take a few degrees. With that knowledge, appropriate precautions can be taken.
