GENERAL SAFETY RULES (Page
3)
31. Floor or floor plates and operating
platforms around moving machinery and test beds must be kept free
from oil and loose material if accidents are to be avoided. Oil
should be transferred from drums to machines by pumps whenever
possible. Where pumps cannot be used, care in handling oils will
avoid slippery floors. Loose material such as wrenches, lead
hammers, pieces of pipe, rubber hose, bolts, nuts, studs, etc., left
on the floor or platform, constitute a real hazard. The careful
workman will always keep things in their proper places.
32. Avoid fires through spontaneous
combustion by properly disposing of oily rags and waste. These must
not be placed in shop containers for waste. Oil rags should never be
piled up or thrown into corners. Rags or waste soaked with gasoline

and paint floor sweepings must be deposited before the end of each
working day in special containers out of doors.
