(a) When salamanders or other temporary heating devices are used, if a temporary heating plant is impracticable and until a permanent heating plant is installed, such devices shall not be set on combustible flooring or platforms unless thoroughly insulated therefrom by a bed of sand or cold ashes not less than four inches thick or by other efficient protection extending at least two feet horizontally beyond such devices on all sides. The legs of such devices shall be at least twelve inches long and shall rest on the insulation and not extend through it.
(b) Such devices shall be so located that there is a clearance of not less than six feet above, such devices, nor less than two feet, six inches on all sides between such devices and unprotected woodwork or combustible material, equipment or construction. No such devices shall be placed within ten feet, in any direction, of tarpaulins or canvas covers, unless the tarpaulins or covers are flame-resistant in an approved manner.
(c) Salamanders and similar heating devices shall be of a substantial type with protective screen covers and shall be under constant supervision as long as they are in use.
