What rule applies to smoking and flames in a room where oxygen is in use?
- A.Smoking is fine if the window is opened a few inches
- B.Candles are allowed as long as they sit on the far wall
- C.Visitors may smoke if the oxygen is turned down low
- D.No smoking or open flames are allowed, and signs should be posted
Correct answer
D. No smoking or open flames are allowed, and signs should be posted
Why
Oxygen makes fires start easier and burn faster, so smoking and open flames are prohibited entirely. Lower flow or open windows do not make flames safe.
