Any use of electrical tools or equipment that can produce combustion or heat and may produce sparks in the workplace, such as flame cutting, gas welding, electric welding, soldering, etc., is classified as fire work and is subject to the control of fire work permit procedures. within the range. Before any fire work is carried out, an application and permission must be obtained before any action can be taken.
Fire work has three potential hazards: fire and explosion, electrical burns, and poisoning. Therefore, you must follow the fire work permit to confirm that all work requirements have been implemented and complete the application for a fire work permit.
Before performing fire work:
1. Whether the application for fire work has been completed, and whether the work time, location, and work content are consistent.
2. Whether the fire permit application form is actually posted at the work site, and whether safety isolation and warning signs are in place around the work area to prevent entry and exit of non-fire workers.
3. The safety of the work area and the surrounding environment must be confirmed first. No flammable gases, liquids and solids should be placed in the fire work area. Flammable or combustible liquids and objects must be removed or isolated. Oil stains on the floor must be removed. Clean it before starting the fire.
4. If there is irremovable flammable gas storage near the fire work area, the flammable gas concentration should be determined to be below 20% of the lower explosion limit before construction can begin, and changes in the ambient flammable gas concentration should be paid attention to at all times. If there is any abnormality, work should be stopped immediately.
5. Wear personal protective equipment (goggles, fire-resistant gloves, safety shoes, protective clothing, safety helmet, etc.).
During fire work:
1. You must prepare two fire extinguishers yourself and place them within one meter of the fire location. The fire extinguishers should be moved according to the fire point.
2. To prevent sparks from flying, non-flammable fire curtains should be used.
3. If flammable substances or odors are found to be overflowing in the work area, you must immediately stop working on the fire or any knocking, cutting, welding and other spark-producing operations. The work can only be continued after the fire supervisor confirms that there is no danger.
(The fire supervisor is responsible for monitoring and inspecting the welding fire site. If any abnormality is found, he will immediately notify the fire workers to stop the fire work and contact relevant personnel to take measures in a timely manner.)
After the fire work is over
1. Clean up the work site and restore it to a normal and safe state, then send the fire work permit copy to the unit supervisor (or supervisor on duty) to sign and confirm that the work is completed.
2. After the fire work is completed, fire supervisors should work with relevant personnel to clean up the site and remove residual fire. They must confirm that there are no fire sources and no residual fire in the work area before leaving the work site for safety reasons.
