    Hot Work comprises work activities that involve the application or generation

    of heat during their


    execution. Such activities include cutting, welding, brazing, soldering and the
    use of blowlamps. These
    activities and the amount of combustible materials stored on site contribute to
    potential fire risk.
    Please refer to Section 12 of the Safety Field Manual for details of Fire
    Prevention and Protection
    measures that should be taken for hot work activities.
    A Hot Work Permit is obtained before commencing work and is posted at the
    work area.
    Combustible and flammable materials have been removed from the area before
    starting work.
    Proper signage in the work area is available.
    Hoses and torches have been inspected before use and defective hoses have been
    removed from service.
    Torches will be ignited by friction lighters or other approved devices only.
    Cylinders, hose apparatus, and connectors are free of oil and grease, and not
    handled with oily or greasy hands or gloves.
    The proper PPE is being used for the job e.g., face shields, flame resistant
    coveralls and gloves, etc.
    Suitable fire extinguishers are available within easy reach of operations.
    The Fire Watch is trained and remains at the location for a minimum of 30
    minutes after work has stopped to ensure that no possibility of fire exists.
    Hot Work at height and from scaffolding presents special
    hazards. Additional requirements are needed:
    All work must be coordinated with other contractors working
    in the area.
    Areas beneath hot work must be cleared of all combustible
    and flammable materials, and exclusion zones established
    where required.
    Fire retardant material must be used to cover scaffold boards
    and to enclose operations.
    Fire retardant material must be removed at the end of every
    shift to expose scaffold boards or combustible materials.
