Designated smoking areas must not be located within how many feet of magazine areas?

Designated smoking areas are required to maintain a safe distance from magazine areas to mitigate the risk of fire and explosion hazards that could arise from the ignition of flammable materials. In these safety regulations, the requirement to keep smoking areas at least 10 feet away from magazine areas is established to provide a buffer zone. This distance reduces the likelihood of any potential ignition sources coming into contact with materials stored in the magazine, which often includes explosives or other hazardous substances. Therefore, maintaining this minimum distance is a critical safety measure in the design and management of storage facilities for such materials.
