i <br /> d. Storage inside buildings must comply with the following conditions: The flammable or <br /> combustible liquids/gasses must not obstruct any egress. Flammable or combustible liquids <br /> must have lids kept tightly closed when not ill use to avoid fumes or vapors. Remove only as <br /> much as needed for operation and replace lid. If a flammable or combustible storage facility <br /> is used,it will be a one-story building containing only flammable or combustible liquids. The <br /> building will have 2-hour fire rated exterior walls having no openings within 10 feet of such <br /> wall. (These can be superceded by any Federal,State or local regulation.) Ventilation inside a <br /> storage room will have a mechanical fail installed to all Federal,State and local regulations. <br /> Controlling Ignition Sources: <br /> a. Static electricity will be controlled by grounding and bonding all equipment that transfers or <br /> transports flammable liquids or any other potentially explosive chemical. <br /> b. Open flames,such as from welding and cutting torches,welding units,heaters,or matches, <br /> should be kept from all flammable liquids or gasses. <br /> c. Motors,switches,and circuit breakers,etc.,should be eliminated where flammable liquids or <br /> gasses are handled or stored. <br /> d. Only non-sparking tools should be used where flammable liquids or gasses may be present. <br /> Fire Fighting Systems and Equipment: <br /> a. Portable fire extinguishers should be used for small fires only. Fire extinguishers will be <br /> conspicuously located and marked with arrows to clearly identify Iocation,especially when <br /> ( material may block view of location. Open access will always be kept to fire extinguishers and <br /> fire fighting equipment. Persons using a fire extinguisher should be trained and use the <br /> proper type of extinguisher for the type of fire. All fire extinguishers will be clearly marked <br /> for type and clearly identified by a sign when two different extinguishers are located together. <br /> Fire extinguishers will be located next to egress,near flainniable operations,and where all <br /> other Federal,State and focal law requires. There are four general classifications of fires <br /> depending on the materials involved. The fire extinguisher that will be used will be rated for <br /> the inaterials involved in the fire. <br /> 1) Class A fires have materials such as wood,paper,rags/cloth which produce embers, <br /> ash and char. <br /> 2) Class B fires have materials such as flammable gasses and liquids or grease,which often <br /> create vapors or fumes that will combust. <br /> 3) Class C fires have live electrical equipment/lines or materials near electrically powered <br /> equipment. <br /> 4) Class D fires have combustible metals like sodium,potassium,or magnesium. <br /> b. Tire extinguishers must be serviced annually and inspected monthly. Additionally,all fire 3 <br /> extinguishers must be maintained fully charged. In the event a fire extinguisher is used,a <br /> back-up fire extinguisher will be put in place while service is completed. <br /> c. Fire sprinkler system must be maintained and tested in accordance with Federal,State and j <br /> local regulations. Notify the Fire Department upon activation. <br /> d. The Superintendent/Forennan/Supervisor/Maniager will maintain equipment and systems that <br /> prevent and control ignitions or fires. <br /> i <br />
