Ten Rules to Prevent Static Electricity Hazards: 1. Transport flammable and explosive materials at the specified flow rate; it is prohibited to use compressed air for mixing or stirring. 2. After the transportation of flammable and explosive fluids is stopped, they must remain stationary for a specified period of time as required before operations such as gauge reading, temperature measurement, and sampling can be carried out. 3. For the temperature measurement and sampling of flammable and explosive fluid storage tanks, instruments made of two or more different materials should not be used. 4. It is strictly prohibited to collect oil from the top of the tank; oil tank trucks should be loaded using dip pipes underwater, and it is strictly forbidden to fill oil products at the plant or tank farm. 5. It is strictly prohibited to enter flammable and explosive areas wearing clothing that generates static electricity; in particular, one should not put on or take off clothes in such areas, nor use synthetic fabrics to wipe equipment. 6. In environments where static electricity generated by synthetic fibers and powders is a problem, the humidity must be kept within specified limits. 7. In areas prone to fire and explosion, as well as in devices where static electricity can be generated due to synthetic fibers and powders, it is necessary to ensure that the equipment has proper anti-static measures in place ； The electrical conductivity of concrete floors, rubber flooring, etc. shall meet the specified requirements. 8. For the transportation and packaging of fiber optic and powder materials, measures must be taken to eliminate or discharge static electricity ； Devices and equipment prone to generating static electricity must be equipped with static eliminators. 9. Anti-static measures and equipment should have designated personnel responsible for regular inspections, with records kept in files. 10. When introducing new products, equipment, processes, and raw materials, an assessment of the static electricity situation should be conducted, and appropriate measures to eliminate static electricity should be taken.
