Fire
Prevention Plan
1. Potential Fire Hazards:
- Flammable and combustible liquids: All flammable and combustible liquids in excess of 1 gallon are to be stored in spring sealing safety containers no more than 2 gallons each. In no case should
there be in excess of 35 gallons stored in any one laboratory or room unless it is in flammable solvent storage cabinets.
- Beware of ignition sources in areas where combustibles are used and stored. Remove all open flame devices. Provide grounded electrical devices in good service condition. Be very careful of open
flames (e.g., glassblowing torches).
2. If there is a problem with fire alarms, fire extinguishers or other built-in fire protection, call the Business Office at 5-3335.
