Smoking is prohibited within what minimum distance from an outdoor hazardous material storage facility or dispensing area?
Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:
Smoking Prohibition Near Hazardous Materials:
According to NFPA 1 (Fire Code), Section 60.5.2.3, smoking is prohibited within a minimum of 50 feet (15.2 m) from outdoor hazardous material storage facilities or dispensing areas to reduce fire risks from ignition sources.
Why 50 Feet is Required:
Hazardous materials can release flammable vapors that ignite easily. The 50-foot distance ensures safety by minimizing the risk of exposure to open flames or sparks.
Other Options Explained:
Option A (10 ft) and Option B (25 ft): Too close to ensure safety.
Option D (100 ft): More than required under NFPA 1.
Summary:
Smoking is prohibited within 50 feet (15.2 m) of outdoor hazardous material storage or dispensing areas.
