The hot work equipment to be used shall be in satisfactory operating condition and in good repair. Where combustible materials, such as paper clippings, wood shavings, or textile fibers, are on the floor, the floor shall be swept clean for a radius of 35 ft (11 m), and the following criteria also shall be met: * Combustible floors shall be kept wet, covered with damp sand, or protected by a listed welding blanket, welding pad, or equivalent. Where floors have been wet down, personnel operating arc welding equipment or cutting equipment shall be protected from possible shock. * All combustibles shall be relocated at least 35 ft (11 m) in all directions from the work site, and the following criteria also shall be met: * If relocation is impractical, combustibles shall be protected by a listed welding curtain, welding blanket, welding pad, or equivalent. To prevent the entrance of sparks, the edges of covers at the floor shall be tight, including at the point at which several covers overlap where a large pile is being protected. Openings or cracks in walls, floors, or ducts within 35 ft (11 m) of the site shall be covered or sealed with listed fire-rated or noncombustible material to prevent the passage of sparks to adjacent areas. Ducts and conveyor systems that might carry sparks to distant combustibles shall be shielded, shut down, or both. * If hot work is done near walls, partitions, ceilings, or roofs of combustible construction, they shall be protected by a listed welding curtain, welding blanket, welding pad, or equivalent. If hot work is done on one side of a wall, partition, ceiling, or roof, one of the following criteria shall be met: Precautions shall be taken to prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side by relocating the combustibles. If it is impractical to relocate combustibles, a fire watch shall be provided on the side opposite from where the work is being performed. Hot work shall not be attempted on a partition, wall, ceiling, or roof that has a combustible covering or insulation, or on walls or partitions of combustible sandwich-type panel construction. Hot work that is performed on pipes or other metal that is in contact with combustible walls, partitions, ceilings, roofs, or other combustibles shall not be undertaken if the work is close enough to cause ignition by conduction. Fully charged and operable fire extinguishers that are appropriate for the type of possible fire shall be available immediately at the work area. If existing hose lines are located within the hot work area defined by the permit, they shall be connected and ready for service but shall not be required to be unrolled or charged. The following shall apply to hot work done in close proximity to a sprinkler head: A wet rag shall be laid over the sprinkler head and then removed at the conclusion of the welding or cutting operation. During hot work, special precautions shall be taken to avoid accidental operation of automatic fire detection or suppression systems (e.g., special extinguishing systems or sprinklers). The operator and nearby personnel shall be suitably protected against dangers such as heat, sparks, and slag.

17 16 of 28 11/18/2016 2:25 PM * In instances where the scope of work and the tools used to conduct hot work result in possible travel of slag, sparks, spatter, or similar mobile sources of ignition farther than 35 ft (11 m), the PAI shall be permitted to extend the distances and areas addressed in (2) through (4). * In instances where the scope of work and tools used to conduct hot work are known to be incapable of generating slag, sparks, spatter, or similar mobile sources of ignition capable of leaving the immediate area of the applied hot work, the PAI shall be permitted to do the following: Reduce the distances and areas addressed in (2) through (4) to distances and areas that he or she considers fire safe for the intended operation Describe those distances and areas on the hot work permit The hot work equipment to be used shall be in satisfactory operating condition and in good repair Where combustible materials, such as paper clippings, wood shavings, or textile fibers, are on the floor, the floor shall be swept clean for a radius of 35 ft (11 m), and the following criteria also shall be met: * Combustible floors shall be kept wet, covered with damp sand, or protected by a listed welding blanket, welding pad, or equivalent Where floors have been wet down, personnel operating arc welding equipment or cutting equipment shall be protected from possible electric shock * All combustibles Combustibles shall be relocated at least 35 ft (11 m) in all directions from the work site, and the following criteria also shall be met: hot work area * If relocation is impractical, combustibles shall be shielded by a barrier constructed of noncombustible materials or otherwise protected by a listed welding curtain, welding blanket, welding pad, or equivalent To prevent the entrance of sparks, the edges of covers at the floor shall be tight, including at the point at which several where covers overlap where a large pile is being protected Openings or cracks in walls, floors, or ducts within 35 ft (11 m) of the hot work site shall be covered or sealed with listed fire-rated or noncombustible material to prevent the passage of sparks to adjacent areas Ducts and conveyor systems that might carry sparks to distant combustibles shall be shielded, shut down, or both * If hot work is done near walls, partitions, ceilings, or roofs of combustible construction, they shall be protected by a listed welding curtain, welding blanket, welding pad, or equivalent If hot work is done on one side of a wall, partition, ceiling, or roof, one of the following criteria in either or shall be met: apply Precautions shall be taken to prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side by relocating the combustibles.

23 21 of 28 11/18/2016 2:25 PM Committee Statement: Response Message: This section has been edited to comply with the Manual of Style Chapter 3 and to clarify requirements for ease of enforcement. FM Global loss history has shown that most hot work fires either start during the hot work activity or within several hours after the hot work has been completed. In hot work fires where the fire has broken out more than one hour following the completion of hot work, the extent and severity of these fire incidents has often been far greater than other hot work caused fire incidents. With the financial challenge of maintaining fire watch personnel within the hot work area well beyond the completion of hot work activities, the provision of effective area fire monitoring will provide early warning of undetected smoldering fire conditions following the completion of the fire watch allowing for prompt manual response. Public Input No. 41-NFPA 51B-2016 [New Section after 5.5] Public Input No. 31-NFPA 51B-2015 [Section No. A.5.5.3]

24 A The provision of additional hot work area monitoring should be determined based on conditions that will support hidden, smoldering fire conditions such as combustible construction, storage of bulk materials such as baled wastepaper or piled trash, or concealed spaces within building construction. Hot work area monitoring can be provided by any of the following: 1. Personnel working in the area 2. Automatic smoke detection 3. Security or maintenance rounds through the hot work area every 30 minutes 4. Security cameras with smoke or fire detection capability

26 23 of 28 11/18/2016 2:25 PM A Cutting and welding processes using electric arcs or oxy fuel gas flames are a necessary part of our industrial world. Too often, however, the persons who use, contract, or supervise the use of these processes do not fully appreciate that their improper use can result in loss of life and property by fire and explosion. Approximately 6 percent of fires in industrial properties and many fires in other properties have been caused by cutting and welding, primarily with portable equipment in areas not specifically designed or approved for such work. Cutting and certain arc welding operations produce literally thousands of ignition sources in the form of sparks and hot slag. Electric arcs or oxy fuel gas flames and hot work pieces are also inherent ignition sources. The majority of fires in which cutting and welding are factors have been caused by sparks. These globules of molten metal have scattered horizontally as far as 35 ft (11 m), setting fire to all kinds of combustible materials. They have also fallen through cracks, pipe holes, or other small openings in floors and partitions, starting fires that have reached serious proportions before being noticed. Electric arcs or oxy fuel gas flames, in themselves, have rarely caused fire except where they have overheated combustibles in the vicinity of the work or where they have been used on containers that have held combustibles without having been cleaned and purged. In the latter case, an explosion generally resulted. The heat of the metal being welded or cut has caused fires where the hot pieces were permitted to rest or fall upon combustible materials. Fires and explosions have also been caused where such heat has been transmitted, as in the case of a container, through the metal to a flammable atmosphere or to combustibles within the container. Anything that is combustible or flammable is susceptible to ignition by cutting and welding. The most common materials likely to become involved in fire are those of combustible building construction such as the following: (1) Floors, partitions, and roofs (2) Combustible contents such as wood, paper, textiles, plastics, chemicals, and flammable liquids and gases (3) Combustible ground cover such as grass and brush Preventing hot work fires can best be achieved by separating combustibles from ignition sources or by shielding combustibles. Table A provides a reference comparison between common hot work activities and their byproducts and the ignition temperature of common combustible or flammable materials.
