1.3.2 Fire safety during maintenance and repair worksSpecial attention must be paid to the fire safety regulations. Be particularly careful with angle grinding welding and gas cutting. These devices produce sparks and high temperatures.Prior to starting a work with a risk of fire:• clean the surroundings of easily burning materials as well as possible;• take care that fire equipment is available;• take care that a fire guard is present;• flying of sparks to the surroundings must be prevented.In order to prevent accidents the work area must be kept in order and clean. Make sure that lifting equipment is in good condition and suitable for the purpose in question. Never stand or walk under a suspended overhead load. Sometimes it is necessary to build scaffoldings in order to reach the target. Ensure that the scaffoldings are stable.
