This training provides instruction on the recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards associated with hot work operations in general industry workplaces.<\/p>\n
Hot work activities may include welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding, heating, and other operations capable of producing flames, sparks, heat, or other ignition sources.<\/p>\n
The course addresses common hot work hazards including fire and explosion hazards, combustible and flammable materials, compressed gas cylinders, oxygen and fuel-gas equipment, arc welding equipment, electrical hazards, sparks and hot slag, burns, toxic fumes and gases, ultraviolet and infrared radiation, ventilation, and hazardous atmospheres.<\/p>\n

Particular attention is given to preventing fires and explosions. Before hot work begins, the work area should be evaluated for combustible materials, flammable substances, hazardous atmospheres, and other conditions that could allow heat, sparks, slag, or flame to create a hazardous condition.<\/p>\n
Appropriate controls may include relocating or protecting combustible materials, using suitable barriers or screens, providing appropriate fire-extinguishing equipment, controlling hazardous atmospheres, and assigning properly instructed fire-watch personnel when required.<\/p>\n
Applicable OSHA general industry requirements include 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Q \u2013 Welding, Cutting and Brazing:<\/p>\n

Additional OSHA requirements may apply depending on the workplace, equipment, materials, atmospheric conditions, employee exposures, and work activities.<\/p>\n
This training is intended to supplement, not replace, the employer’s site-specific hot work program, permit procedures, fire prevention procedures, hazard assessments, equipment-specific training, manufacturer instructions, respiratory protection requirements, or other applicable safety procedures.<\/p>\n
Completion of this course does not, by itself, authorize an individual to perform hot work, operate welding or cutting equipment, or serve as a fire watch. Employers remain responsible for determining employee competency, providing required task-specific training, and authorizing employees for their assigned duties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
