I would like to know what the word 「他」means in the following sentence.

引火性のもの　（ガソリン、ベンジン、シンナー他{ほか}）の近くで使用しないで下さい。

Does it means '...and other things that are able to catch fire' or 'besides gasoline, Benzin and thinner'?

It's the former. Check if there is の before 他.

  • A、B、C他 means "A, B, C and others"
  • A、B、Cの他 means "besides A, B and C"
