Astore paint cans on metal shelves only
Bplace a portable fire extinguisher immediately outside the locker
Clabel the fixed firefighting system

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) not allow oily rags to accumulate in the space. Oily rags are a common fire hazard in paint lockers, as they can spontaneously combust if left to accumulate. Keeping the space free of oily rags is a simple precaution that can significantly reduce the risk of accidental fires. The other options, while potentially helpful, do not directly address the specific fire hazard posed by oily rags.
