possible.
If the work cannot be moved ,clear flammable materials and
rubbish from the area for about a 35 feet radius.
If these precautions are not feasible, shield or cover such
materials with fire resistive materials to protect them for
combustion.
Holes in the floor and walls must be covered to prevent sparks
from falling through unnoticed onto people or combustible
materials below.
Maintain a fire watch when doing this kind of work and have

suspected to have contained flammable or toxic materials until
it has been tested, thoroughly cleaned , purged and vented.
Traces of the material may still be in the vessel and result in a
fire or explosion ,or create a toxic exposure.
Accident Prevention
