Hot Work Permits
HOT WORK PERMITS--BURNING, WELDING & PIPE
SWEATING
Most welding, cutting and pipe sweating processes--for
construction and demolition--use portable, manually
operated equipment. Welding & cutting and pipe sweating
(soldering) of copper pipe produce fumes that are potentially
harmful
to humans. In addition, these operations are a potential
fire hazard.
Environmental Health and Safety utilizes a HOT
WORK PERMIT program aimed at outside contractors. These
procedures, which are maintained by the University Fire Marshal, consist of a Hot Work Permit issued
to all contractors who have a need for this type of work
on the University campus. The Hot Work Permits are issued
to each contractor for a defined period of time as needed
by the contractor. Periodic inspections of the work site
are conducted by University Fire Marshal. For
questions regarding Hot Work Premits contact Robert Burke,
University Fire Marshal at 6-3494.
