  1. According to FDNY regulations, a hot work permit application must be submitted how far in advance of the planned torch operation?

    Answer: At least one business day before work begins

    FDNY requires hot work permit applications to be submitted at least one business day before operations begin to allow for review and issuance.

  2. Which code requirement addresses the use of approved regulators on compressed gas cylinders used for torch work?

    Answer: OSHA 29 CFR 1926.350(h)

    OSHA 29 CFR 1926.350(h) specifically requires that approved pressure-reducing regulators be used on all compressed gas cylinders for torch and welding work.

  3. If a G60 certificate of fitness expires during an ongoing job, the certificate holder must:

    Answer: Cease torch operations until the certificate is renewed

    An expired G60 certificate renders the holder unauthorized to conduct torch operations — work must stop until the certificate is renewed.

  4. Under NYC fire code, combustible materials in a torch work area that cannot be removed must be protected by:

    Answer: Fire-resistant shields or covers rated for welding/cutting sparks

    When combustible materials cannot be removed from the work area, they must be covered with fire-resistant welding blankets or shields rated for cutting and welding spark exposure.

  5. Which of the following actions violates NFPA 51B during torch cutting work?

    Answer: Cutting through a wall without checking the other side for combustibles

    NFPA 51B requires that both sides of any wall or partition be inspected for combustibles before torch cutting — cutting blindly is a code violation.

  6. A G60 certificate holder may supervise how many torch operators simultaneously under NYC FDNY regulations?

    Answer: As many as can be safely monitored at one job site

    NYC FDNY requires the certificate holder to be physically present and capable of monitoring all torch operations — there is no fixed number but safe supervision at one site is the standard.

  7. Under which condition is torch work expressly prohibited by NYC fire code regardless of permit status?

    Answer: When atmospheric conditions create a fire danger advisory issued by FDNY

    FDNY can suspend all hot work permits and prohibit torch operations when it issues a fire danger advisory due to extreme atmospheric conditions such as high wind and low humidity.
