Hot Work refers to work activities that involve heat generation such as cutting, welding, and soldering, which present a fire risk. The document outlines safety measures that must be taken for hot work, including obtaining a Hot Work Permit, removing combustibles from the area, using proper PPE and fire extinguishers, and designating a Fire Watch for 30 minutes after work is complete. Additional precautions are required for hot work done at height or from scaffolding, such as coordinating with other contractors, clearing combustibles below, and using fire retardant materials.

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.
