Open flame and flying sparks

(Welding, flame cutting, and sanding) Ensure that no flammable objects and materials are endangered or catch fire through flames, sparks, smelting drips, hot gases, or heat conduction. Avoid uncontrolled flying sparks when separating, cutting, and welding. At any rate, fire protection equipment suitable for the work, for example, fire blankets, fire extinguishers, hose lines, must be provided.
