This document provides guidance on proper storage and safety precautions for construction materials. Key points include: 1. Materials like timber, plywood, petroleum products, explosives, etc. should be stored separately to prevent fire hazards. 2. Adequate spacing between stacks is needed to prevent damage if a fire occurs. Smoking and open fires should be prohibited at storage sites. 3. The storekeeper is responsible for safety of all materials and fire extinguishing equipment should be available. Wastage of materials like cement and aggregates should also be prevented.
