Hot Work

Hot work is any process that can be a source of ignition when flammable material is present or can be a fire hazard regardless of the presence of flammable material in the workplace. Common hot work processes are welding, soldering, cutting and brazing. When flammable materials are present processes such as grinding and drilling become hot work processes.

In some countries, such as the UK and Canada, a hot work permit is required for hot work.

Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or work:

    Because the pleasure-bird whistles after the hot wires,
    Shall the blind horse sing sweeter?
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
