Make sure a heating system used for drying objects does not cause a fire.
The employer must make sure the heating system used in a drying operation that could cause ignition:
(1) Has adequate mechanical ventilation that operates before and during the drying operation;
(2) Shuts down automatically if a ventilating fan fails to maintain adequate ventilation;
(3) Is installed as required by NFPA 86-1999, Standard for Ovens and Furnaces.
Note: | Some, or all, of the consensus standards (such as ANSI and NFPA) may have been revised. If the employer complies with a later version of a consensus standard, the employer will be considered to have complied with any previous version of the same consensus standard. |
