Make sure that fire−fighting equipment is available in the engine room. Keep covers
and casings of the engine closed until the engine is sufficiently cool.
Clean the area around the relief valves free of oil, grease etc. This will prevent risk of
fire cause by hot air or gas when the relief valves are open.
Do not weld or use naked lights in the engine room. Make sure that no explosive
gases, vapour or liquids are available which can cause fire or explosion.
Be careful when using paint and solvents which has a low flash point. There is a risk
of fire and explosion.
Be careful when the crankcase doors are open before the engine is at suitable
temperature, weld or use of naked flames can cause risk of explosion and fire. Same
is applicable to oil tanks and spaces below the floor at the time of inspection.
