SAFETY AND FIRE PROTECTION SURVEY REPORT NO. 1173 BEAUMONT WORKS STORES G. A. Bell (B) Field ObservationsNovember 9, 1981 M. J, Lettich (L) L-14 Unsafe Storage - Several examples of unsafe elevated pallet storage were observed (material with the potential of falling on its own or easily knocked over). Increased emphasis is needed in storing only stable loads on elevated racks. Consideration should also be given to either strapping unstable elevated loads or storing them at ground level. SALVAGE 1-15 Cylinder Storage - Oxygen and acetylene cylinders were observed stored 5-10 feet apart. To eliminate the fire and explosion hazard, these cylinders should be stored a minimum of 20 feet apart or separated by a fire wall as described in Engineering Standard F10J. GENERAL * L-16 Welding Cart Storage Trays - Several oxygen-acetylene welding carts are equipped with attached storage trays. Since these trays can accumulate flammable vapors, they should be vented on all four sides, top and bottom to provide adequate ventilation. /kw DUP 0502198 DU 001861
