Take all reasonably practicable steps to prevent the outbreak of fire at a place of employment and to provide effective means to protect workers from any fire that may occur;

- the training of designated persons and workers in their responsibilities for fire safety;
- the holding of fire drills at least once during each 12-month period; and
- the control of fire hazards.
- Suitable procedures are developed and implemented to prevent the ignition of flammable liquids or explosive dusts that are present at a worksite;
- All sources or potential sources of ignition are eliminated or controlled where an explosive atmosphere exists or is likely to exist; and
- Static charge accumulations during transfer of flammable liquids or explosive substances from one container to another are prevented by electrically bonding the containers or otherwise designed to control the presence of static electricity.
