APPENDIX B---HOT WORK PERMIT FORM
Site Occupational Health & Safety Rules / Guidelines
For Hot Work Permit System
Endorsement Endorsed By: Date:
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. Fire sprinklers operational during hot work
8. Smoke / thermal detectors isolated during hot work in the immediate area 9. Assessment of any other special circumstances the may increase the risk of fire
during hot work must be completed
Hot Work Permit
This permit must be completed for all cutting (e.g. grinding and oxy acetylene), welding and other hot work performed external to any dedicated workshop area.
A copy of this permit must be displayed at the work site during hot work operations and a copy given to site management upon completion of hot work for file retention.
