What is a Hotwork Permit?
A hotwork permit is a written authorization to perform hot work operations in a designated area. The permit is valid for a specific time period and activity. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to follow all safety procedures and to ensure that the work area is properly ventilated.
When is a Hotwork Permit Required?
A hot work permit is required whenever hot work is performed to ensure the safety of employees and the public. Hot work is any work that involves the use of tools or equipment that produces heat, sparks, or flames. This includes welding, brazing soldering, cutting, grinding and any other work that produces a spark or flame.
A hot work permit must be completed before any hot work can be performed. The permit must be obtained by the person who will be performing the work and must be kept on-site while the work is being performed. The permit must be signed by the permit holder and authorizer.
Note: A hot work permit is not required when the hotwork operation is being performed in an area that is already designated as a hotwork area e.g. a welding fabrication workshop.
