Safety and Fire Prevention Requirements

(1) No person in or upon the Airport shall do or omit to do any act if the doing or omission thereof endangers unreasonably or is likely to endanger unreasonably persons or property. (2) All persons at the Airport shall exercise the utmost care to guard against injury to persons or property by fire or otherwise. (3) Detected fire, or safety hazards, shall be immediately reported to the Fire Controlman. (4) No person shall smoke or carry lighted cigars, cigarettes, pipes, matches or any naked flame in or upon any fuel storage area, landing area, ramp or apron area, aircraft parking and storage area, or any open deck, gallery or balcony contiguous to and overlooking any such area, in any other place where smoking is specifically prohibited by signs, upon any open space within 50 feet of any fuel servicing vehicle which is not in motion, or other place at the Airport under such circumstances as may or might be likely to endanger persons or property. (5) No person shall conduct any open flame operations, operate an acetylene torch, electric arc or similar flame or spark producing device on any part of the Airport except in areas within leased premises designated for such use by the Executive Director, without first obtaining permission in writing from the Executive Director, who may require that a permit be obtained. No such permit will be issued for such operations within an aircraft hangar or within any fuel storage area or fuel parking area, unless the work is required for the repair and maintenance of said hangars or areas. Should the Fire Controlman deem a "fire guard" to be necessary, such shall be provided by and at the expense of the agency responsible for the existence of the fire hazard. (6) No person shall, without prior permission of the Executive Director, keep, transport, handle or store at, in or upon the Airport any cargo of explosives or other dangerous articles which are barred from loading in or transportation by civil aircraft in the United States under the current provisions of Part 103 of the Federal Air Regulations promulgated by the Federal Aviation Administration. Any waiver of such regulations or of any part thereof by the Federal Aviation Administration or by any other competent authority shall not constitute or be construed to constitute a waiver of this rule or an implied permission to keep, transport, handle or store such explosives or other dangerous articles at, or upon an air terminal. Advance notice of at least 24 hours shall be given the Executive Director to permit full investigation and clearance of any operation requiring a waiver of 740 CMR 21.62(6). (7) No person shall at any time store, keep, handle, use or transport at, in, or upon the Airport any article employing atomic fission or radioactive force. (8) No person shall store, keep, handle, use, dispense or transport at, in, or upon the Airport any Class A or Class B explosives as defined in the Interstate Commerce Commission regulations for transportation of explosives and other dangerous articles, dynamite, nitroglycerine, black powder, fireworks, blasting caps, or other explosives, gasoline, alcohol, ether, liquid shellac, kerosene, turpentine, formaldehyde, or other flammable or combustible liquids, ammonium nitrate, sodium chlorate, wet hemp, powered metallic magnesium nitrocellulose film, peroxides, or other readily inflammable solids or oxidizing materials, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or other corrosive liquids, prussic acid, phosgene, arsenic, carbolic acid, potassium cyanide, tear gas, lewisite or any Class A poisons (as defined in the Interstate Commerce Commission regulations for transportation of explosives and other dangerous articles), or any other poisonous substances, liquids or gas, or any compressed gas, or any radioactive article, substance or material, at such time or place or in such manner or condition as to endanger unreasonably persons or property. The Executive Director may require that a permit for the storage of all such materials be obtained from the Authority, to be conspicuously posted at each location and subject to annual inspection and renewal. Materials normally stored on and for the operational use of an aircraft shall be exempt from the provisions of 740 CMR 21.62(8). (9) The heating of engines at the Airport shall be done only by the use of steam, hot water, hot air or approved electric heaters.

(13) The lessee of a building equipped with sprinkler systems shall assign qualified employees to make inspections once each month of the systems to insure their inservice status.
