If any person in charge of a detector which is a flame safety-lamp detects the presence of inflammable gas therewith he shall not throw away that detector or attempt to extinguish it by blowing or jerking it but shall take it out of the gas steadily, holding it near the floor and sheltering it. If the gas fires in the detector and he cannot immediately take it out of the gas he shall smother the light.
