A "permitted area" is a specific location where safety protocols are implemented to mitigate risks associated with hot work.
Regular inspection and maintenance ensure that equipment is functioning correctly and safely, reducing the risk of accidents.
The first step in a risk assessment is to identify and evaluate potential hazards associated with torch operations to understand the risks involved.
Flame-resistant clothing is essential PPE for torch work, as it protects workers from potential burns and fire hazards associated with flammable gases.
Safety protocols dictate that any detected gas leak should prompt immediate evacuation and notification to ensure the safety of all personnel.
