What is required when using a spark-producing tool?

When using a spark-producing tool, having a Fire Guard is essential due to the increased risk of fire hazards associated with these tools. A Fire Guard is trained to monitor the work area for any potential fire hazards and to take immediate action should a spark ignite material or cause a fire. This role is crucial in maintaining safety, especially in environments where flammable materials are present. The presence of a Fire Guard ensures that any incidents are managed swiftly, reducing the likelihood of a fire spreading and causing greater damage or injury.

While safety goggles and fire extinguishers are important safety measures in general, and a special license may be required for certain tools, they do not specifically address the immediate need for active oversight and emergency response in situations where sparks are generated.
