Description
What is Hotwork?
Hotwork is a general term used to describe any type of work that involves high temperatures. Hotwork can be divided into two main categories of welding and cutting. Welding is a process of joining two pieces of metal together using heat, while cutting is a process of using heat to remove metal from a workpiece.
Typically, hotwork is any work that may create an ignition source, including grinding, welding, thermal or oxy cutting or heating, brazing and other related heat producing or spark producing operations.
What is Hotwork Procedure?
A hotwork procedure is a written document that provides practical guidance on reducing the risk in work areas that are associated with hotwork activities. This may include welding, naked flame work, spark-producing work and equipment, vehicles and electrical equipment in hazardous areas.
A hotwork procedure is designed to protect employees from the hazards and risks associated with hot work operations.
Note: Hot work activities, such as welding and soldering, along with other allied processes, require strict health and safety measures to mitigate the risk of fire or explosion due to the presence of flammable materials in the hot work area. To ensure safe work, a fire watch must be assigned, personal protective equipment must be worn and all hot work, including fire-prone activities, must follow proper procedures to prevent risk and hazards.
