Keep all combustible materials at least five feet from such ignition sources and all flammable liquids at least
twenty feet away.

equipment cords, extension cords, etc. should be removed from service immediately and replaced or
repaired. Any use of flammable liquids must be done in a manner that prevents spills and prevents the
flammable liquid or its vapor or spray from coming in contact with any ignition source. All flammable liquids must
be stored in proper flammable liquid storage containers and kept in the proper storage cabinets.

neat stacks with adequate aisle space provided to prevent easy spread of fire and to allow for access to
extinguish any fire that may start. Trash, scrap, and other unnecessary combustibles must be cleaned up
