Fire safety requirements for the operation of furnace equipment

Chimneys, chimneys and other elements of heating furnaces and systems are cleaned of soot immediately before the start, as well as during the heating season at least:

1) once every three months-for heating furnaces;

2) once every two months-for furnaces and continuous-action foci.

In the attics in which the smoke channels pass, all the chimneys and walls are whitewashed.

Kitchen stoves and other furnaces of a continuous (long-term) furnace are cleaned at least once a month.

When operating the furnace heating is not allowed:

1) leave unattended burning stoves, as well as entrust the supervision of them to children;

2) place the fuel prepared for combustion, as well as other combustible substances and materials on the pre-heating sheet;

3) use flammable and combustible liquids for ignition of solid fuel stoves;

4) to heat coal, coke and gas furnaces that are not intended for these types of fuel;

5) to heat stoves in the premises during meetings and other mass events held in them;

6) re-pump the furnaces;

7) dry combustible substances and materials (shoes, clothing, firewood) at a distance of less than 0.5 m from the surface of the furnace and chimneys;

8) use gate valves (dampers) without the holes provided for by the design standards;

9) use ventilation and gas ducts as chimneys;

10) to carry out the heating of furnaces that have malfunctions, cracks and crevices.

Ash and slag containing incandescent and smoldering materials, after raking out of the furnaces, are removed to a specially designated place for them, excluding the possibility of a fire, and are spilled with water.

It is not allowed to place combustible substances, materials, products and equipment at a distance of less than 1.25 m to the furnace openings and less than 0.7 m to the other heated parts of the furnaces.

Fuel (coal) is stored in specially adapted rooms or on specially designated sites located no closer than 8 m from the buildings being burned.
