Flammable Products
When using flammable materials in a confined space, take these precautions:
 Provide adequate ventilation.
 Control sparks (use non-sparking tools) and control other potential ignition sources.
 Extinguish all pilot lights.
 Use specially protected lighting.
 Have fire extinguishers handy.
Contact cement is an example of a product with fire or explosion potential when used in a small area with poor ventilation. Workers have been killed from explosion and fire when they finished work and switched off the light in a room where solvent vapours from contact cement or adhesives had accumulated.
