Hot work

• is work that could produce a source of

  Fire

• is work that could produce a source of

  spark

• is work that could produce a source of

  an open flame.

• is work that could produce a source of

  ignition

Hot work is hazardous because it may

• provide a source of ignition

• provide a source of ignition & cause an injury

• Cause a fire risk

• cause an injury

Many incidents (usually fires) are caused by

• incorrectly executed hot works

• Unsafe behavior

• Gas cylinders

• welding operations

one of the most important Main safety measures for hot works

• Remove flammable materials located within a minimum of 10m radius from the working point

• For works in fuel and/or covered with ATEX study facilities, the measures of the relevant studies/RA and procedures shall be additionally implemented.

• Avoid welding or flame cutting on wheels that have tires fitted, even if the tire is deflated. Danger of explosion

• All the previous

One of the RULES DURING HOT WORKS

• Do not store oxygen cylinders within 4m of cylinders containing flammable gases. If not possible, separate them with a fire-rated wall

•      If the RA recognizes hazards due to flammable gases or vapors, fumes or welding gases, or lack of oxygen, atmospheric measurements should be performed. The frequency of measurement is condition-dependent.

• Oxygen should be used for cleaning machines, and clothes or the ventilation of areas

Most important steps for COMPLETION OF HOT WORKS

•      Deactivate and remove the equipment and the tools used.

•      Check the surrounding area, the area next to and below or above the work area for at least 1 hour after the works have been completed.

•      Check the surrounding area, the area next to and below or above the work area for at least 1 hour after the works have been completed.

Confined space is

• substantially enclosed and large enough for an employee to enter fully and perform assigned work

• substantially enclosed and large enough for an employee to enter fully and perform assigned work for just a limited time

• substantially enclosed and large enough for an employee to enter fully and perform assigned work within continuous periods

• All the previous

A permit-required confined space has one or more of the following characteristics

• Has an internal and external configuration that might cause an entrant to be trapped or asphyxiated.

• not contain any other recognized serious safety or health hazards

• Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere

• All the previous

CS Authorized Entrant roles include

• Knows the job and the hazards existing in the confined space and their consequences

• Maintains communication with the Safety Engineer onsite

• Ask the watcher to sign the confined space permit on entry or exit every time.

• All are incorrect

any chamber, fuel tank, filter, silo, silo truck, pipe, duct, hopper, or chute is considered as

• confined Spaces

• Restricted workplaces

• spaces in which, by virtue of its enclosed nature, a foreseeable hazard may occur
