APPENDIX B-----HOT WORK PERMIT FORM 11
Site Occupational Health & Safety Rules / Guidelines For Hot Work Permit System Endorsement Endorsed By: Date: Page 1 of 3
Guidelines for the use of the Hot Work Permit System The use of welding, grinding and flame cutting equipment can be a cause of fires and explosions if used in areas where flammable liquids or ordinary combustibles are not controlled or protected. Such work can also pose a health and safety hazard to people in adjoining areas either from sparks, welding flash or combustion products. Where hot work is required to be undertaken outside of a dedicated workshop the hot work permit system must be used for the protection of staff, members of the public and exhibits. Hot Work Permit System Process Flow It is recognised that hot work needs to be undertaken by a member of staff, contractor or project coordinator. The project coordinator or individuals assigned to undertake hot work (including contractors) initiate the following system 1. Barricades, warning signs, spark and flash screens are provided. Further to this personnel involved in the undertaking of hot work must not leave tools and equipment unsecured. 2. Stand by person on duty during hot work 3. Appropriate fire fighting extinguishers at hand for duration of work 4. Work area, trenches, pits, etc. free from flammable liquids gasses and vapours 5. Combustible material within 10 meters removed or covered with a flame proof cover 6. All floor and wall openings within 10 meters covered to stop transmission of sparks 7.
