(b)

Asphalt and tar kettles shall be located in a safe place outside of the building or on a noncombustible roof at a point where they avoid danger of ignition of combustible material below. Metal covers shall be provided for all kettles to smother out flames in case of fire.

Flammable liquids and combustible oils from tanks and machinery reservoirs shall be drained in a safe manner, with particular attention to removal of residue and sludge accumulations, and shall be removed immediately from the building;

(2)

Tanks and piping, formerly containing flammable liquids shall be removed prior to demolition of the building. If this is not feasible, these hazards shall be placarded or otherwise identified for careful removal.
