Section 11 Hot Work Permit Date: June 1999 Washington Aqueduct Division

Risk Management Program

Introduction

The purpose of this section is to describe a consistent control mechanism to prevent fires from welding, cutting, drilling, grinding, soldering, brazing, explosive actuated tool use, hot tar operations, hot plate use, and open burning activities. In order to comply with 40 CFR 68.85, a permit is issued for hot work operations conducted on or near a covered process. This permit documents that the fire prevention and protection requirements in OSHA regulations, 29 CFR 1910.252 (a), have been implemented prior to commencing the hot work operations.

Permit Procedure

A hot work permit request form, Form K-1 included in Appendix K, must be completed by Dalecarlia WTP personnel or outside contractors for any hot work to be performed on or near hazardous material/chemical process and facilities as follows:

• Work on tanks, containers, piping feed systems, or ancillary equipment containing chemicals or fuels.

• Work in chlorine facility rooms or on any part of the nondiluted chlorine system.

• Work within 25 feet of any flammable/combustible material with NFPA fire rating of 2 or greater.

• Wherever confined space entry testing indicates a hazardous atmosphere.

• Wherever a “Hot Work Permit Required” sign is posted.

• Work, where in the Foreman’s judgement that ignition/explosion of chemicals could occur from sparks, hot slag, etc.

The work site Foreman and the WA Safety and Occupational Health Program Manager or WA Project Engineer will review the proposed task and provide authorization that hot work is required. A hot work permit is then issued to the designated maintenance staff or contractor. This permit documents that appropriate fire prevention and protection requirements have been implemented prior to beginning hot work, the object(s) upon which hot work will be performed have been identified, and the dates for this work have been authorized.

The maintenance staff reviews all appropriate safety precautions to be taken prior to performing the hot work with the work site Foreman, including lockout/tagout, respiratory protection, use of personal protective equipment, etc.

When contractors perform work on WA property and lines, the maintenance staff will point out to the contractors where hot work permit procedures are required.

Section 11 Hot Work Permit

Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant Risk Management Program / 11-2

Normally, hot work permits expire once each individual task is completed and at the end of the work day. A new permit is completed and issued at the beginning of each work day. However, extended contracts may be issued based on work/tasks to be performed.

After the designated maintenance mechanic or contractor completes items 1 through 6 of the Hot Work Permit Request form, the form must be submitted to the work site Foreman for review and signature of approval. The Foreman then passes the form to the WA Safety and Occupational Health Program Manager and/or WA Project Engineer for review and signature of approval. If the work is to be performed in a confined or poorly ventilated space, the Hot Work Permit Request form must be accompanied by a Confined Space Certificate (when applicable) issued and signed by a Confined Space Technician who has performed all tests and procedures required by the Confined Space Entry Program. The approved Hot Work Permit Request form becomes the hot work permit.

One copy of the hot work permit form is assigned to the maintenance staff or contractor who displays it at the work site until all hot work operations are finished. A second copy of the form remains in the hot work permit issuance book maintained by the WA Safety and Occupational Health Program Manager.

Upon completion, the maintenance staff performs any necessary unlocking/untagging, testing, or other activities necessary to return equipment to service and will notify the work site Foreman that operations may return to normal.
