Hot work

Hot work

Hot work is construction work that involves the use of fire or high temperatures, such as welding. In some countries, such as the Nordic countries, a specific license is needed for hot work. The license is meant to ensure that the worker has undergone the necessary safety training, and is able to avoid accidents.

In an industrial setting A Hot Work is any work or task that requires or involves open flames or any other sources of heat that could ignite flammable or combustible materials in the work area. The USA standards applicable to this type of job are regulated by OSHA. They are:• Part Number: 1910Part Title: Occupational Safety and Health StandardsSubpart: HSubpart Title: Hazardous MaterialsStandard Number: 1910.110Title: Storage and handling of liquefied petroleum gases.

• Part Number: 1915Part Title: Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Shipyard EmploymentSubpart: BSubpart Title: Confined and Enclosed Spaces and Other Dangerous Atmospheres in Shipyard EmploymentStandard Number: 1915.14Title: Hot Work.
