An approved safety gas can must be used for transporting or storing fuel. Be aware of safe clearance from overhead obstructions. If visibility is limited, use a helper when backing a vehicle. Locate sources of fumes, mists and odors so that they will not affect others. Do not store or use them near air intakes for buildings.
Examples are vehicle exhausts, paint sprays, vapors from open cans, and roofing materials.
Where some public exposure cannot be avoided, inform the person responsible for the building of the planned work in advance so adjustments can be made, such as cutting off air handling units or allowing individuals to adjust their work schedules. Always follow the instructions on the labels when using or mixing chemicals. Wear the required personal protective equipment and inform others who might be affected of the risks associated with the materials. A neat orderly area reduces the chances of accidents and fires. Leave every job clean and orderly at the end of each day.
