Flammable and combustible paints might also be bulked after the event. Precautions shale be taken to prevent accidental ignition or reaction of these wastes. These wastes shall be separated and protected from sources of ignition or reaction including but not limited to: open flames, smoking, cutting and welding, hot surfaces, frictional heat, sparks (static, electrical, or mechanical), spontaneous ignition, and radiant heat. `No Smoking" signs shall be conspicuously placed in this waste handling area.
