Other Safety Solutions to Remember • Be prepared to monitor gases from borings • Provide spark arrestors for all internal combustion engines • Keep all spark-producing equipment well away from potential fuel sources • Don't allow vehicles to idle in the vicinity of fuels or dry grass • Keep all open flames away from the boring and other fuel sources • Don't allow smoking while drilling • Have a hot work permit procedure and enforce use • Store all cylinders upright and secured • Have well-maintained fire extinguishers at drilling sites • Use a fire watch (additional person) when doing hot work. The tools and tasks mentioned here can be easily devel- oped and implemented. Make sure your company does so.
