Bonding wires prevent sparks from static electricity generated by movement and flow of flammable liquids. Bonding between containers during liquid transfer and connecting drums to an earth ground is the safest method for transferring flammable liquids.

During waste collection operations, use one antistatic wire to bond from a safety container to a receiving vessel such as a funnel, then properly ground by attaching a second antistatic wire to the drum and then to an earth ground.
