2. Do not smoke or permit smoking in any studio containing flammable or combustible liquids. Flammable vapors can travel considerable distances, resulting in fire hazards in other parts of the studio.

3. Keep all sources of ignition away from flammable liquids. This includes flames, sparks, static electricity, hot metal surfaces and electric element.

4. When pouring flammable liquids from large metal drums into metal containers, connect the two metal containers together with wire to bond them. This prevents the build-up of static electricity, which can ignite the flammable liquids. The metal drum should also be grounded with a ground wire leading to a ground such as a tap or a radiator.

5. Store flammable or combustible solvents in safety cans. For dispensing small amounts of solvents, store the solvents in spring loaded dispensers.

6. Make sure all electrical equipment is in good repair and adequately grounded. All wiring and equipment should meet standards of the NFPA's electrical code.

7. Fans in local exhaust ventilation systems should have non sparking or nonferrous blades, and the motor and controls should be outside the path of the vapors or be explosion proof.

8. Do not use gas fired space heaters unless the heater is approved for use in the presence of flammable materials.

9. Waste flammable or combustible liquids should be stored in approved solvent disposal cans, while awaiting proper disposal.

10. Solvent soaked rags and paper should be stored in self closing oily waste cans or other closed metal containers. These should be emptied daily.

11. Do not store flammable or combustible liquids near escape routes from studios.

12. Keep a dry chemical or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on hand for emergency use.

13. Clean up spills of flammable liquids immediately.
