What should you do to prevent explosions when using fog generators?

To prevent explosions when using fog generators, shutting off pilot lights before treatment is crucial. Fog generators often use flammable materials to create their mist, and pilot lights can ignite these vapors, leading to dangerous explosions. Ensuring that there are no open flames or heat sources nearby, such as pilot lights, minimizes the risk of fire or explosion during the application process.

Proper handling and precautions significantly reduce accidents associated with the use of fog generators. This includes not only turning off pilot lights but also ensuring that fogging operations are carried out safely and in adherence to recommended guidelines. While using fog generators in well-ventilated areas is important for dispersing chemicals safely and minimizing inhalation risks, it does not directly address the explosion risk associated with ignition sources like pilot lights.
