h. Dangerously reactive or flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust.
i. Provide adequate ventilation in work areas to prevent accumulation of flam
mable gases, vapors, and dust. Do not apply heat to a container that has held an
unknown substance or a combustible material whose contents, when heated, can
produce flammable or explosive vapors. Clean and purge containers before apply-
ing heat. Vent closed containers., including castings, before prehe ating, welding, or
cutting.
