(a) Safety Measures. Before the beginning of any fumigation process referred to in Section 7-44-050, all automatic electrical devices shall be removed from service and all fires and open flames shall be extinguished. The premises shall be adequately sealed to prevent escape of the fumigating agent into occupied quarters. Warning placards shall be affixed in a conspicuous manner at each means of ingress to every space undergoing any fumigation. Such placards shall display the words "Dangerous Gases – Keep Out" in letters not less than three inches in height. At the end of every such process of fumigation, it shall be the duty of the person conducting such process to ventilate thoroughly such premises and to notify the fire commissioner that such premises have been ventilated and are safe to enter.
(b) Exceptions. Where such processes enumerated in subsection (a) are carried on daily in a gastight room or vault as a part of any production or renovating process, the provisions of this section shall be held to apply only to the space in which such fumigating is done and a monthly return of the notices herein required shall suffice so long as such processes shall be continuous or of daily occurrence.
