13.Prevent accidental fires. Remove any combustible material from the work area.
14.When possible, move the work to a location well away from combustible materials. If relocation is not pos- sible, protect the combustibles with a cover made of fire resistant material.
15.Do not use near degreasing or paint- ing operations.
16.Enclose the work area with portable fire resistant screens. Protect com- bustible walls, ceilings, floors, etc., from sparks and heat with fire resis- tant covers.
