Section 3 – Specific Hot Work / Ignition Controls
Requirement                                                                                           If Yes, Include Additional Control Details to be
                                                                                     Yes      NA      Used:
The hot work is to be undertaken on or adjacent to plant that will
require an isolation (such as services, pipes, tanks, pressure vessels)
A fixed fire protection or detection system will need to be isolated
prior to work (note: isolations of long duration may also require
insurance entities to be notified)

The work area will require specific cleaning, purging, ventilating or
pre-work atmospheric monitoring (due to flammable/explosive
vapours, dusts, liquids or solid residues in the work area / location)

The work area will require pre-work cleaning, stripping, surface
preparation, or atmospheric monitoring during works (as a result of
surfaces / coatings that may create harmful emissions when cut or
heated)
The nature of the work requires specific respiratory protection to be
worn
The nature of the work requires specific controls to be implemented
to protect gas hoses or other sensitive plant items involved in the
work
The hot work involves arc-welding whereby specific controls are
required to minimise the potential for electric shock due to the
location of work or work environment (due to the presence of water,
moisture or heat, where the ambient temperature is above 32oC or
where the welder is forced to perform welding in a cramped position
with physical contact with conductive parts)
