Pool: Refers to a container for holding liquids, with a depth of 0.8m or a top edge height of 0.8m. 　　 Where a flat-roofed structure is built within a factory building and the flat roof is used as a storage area, or where the factory building’s roof is used as a workshop, it must have sufficient load-bearing capacity or protective railings. (3) Promptly remove industrial waste, spent solvents, wastewater, and other wastes. 5. Requirements for the management standards of items and facilities within the production area: (1) They must be arranged neatly, in a stable and secure manner, and their placement must not interfere with operations ； (2) Water cups must not be placed on the desks at production positions.
