Safety Topic Of The Day: Part A: A Brief Introduction To Hot Work

Hello Everyone! I have been very busy lately and I have not been on this blog. I apologize for the huge delay due to my personal and work loads. I have some extra time recently so I'm able to come in and share with you some new blog content. How are you doing on this Monday that kicks off the work week?? On my project, I'm forced to celebrate the Jewish New Year today- therefore I'm enjoying a three-day weekend this weekend. As I had previously shared before like a broken record, I found out that Anchor.fm is no longer electronically converting this written blog to an audio MP3 form automatically. Moving forward, I am actively sharing my Construction Tales Safety Topic YouTube videos on my main Spotify channel. Therefore, my brand-new Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes are my YouTube safety topics. Before I share my latest "Construction Tales Safety Topic" content, allow me to share some updates on my other projects. My established "$ugar Momma Baddie" themed clothing and accessory collection is available on both Spring and Shopify ecommerce platforms. Check out the two designs that you can choose from: 1) Feisty Lady Trio 2) Sugar Momma Bed. The "$ugar Momma Baddie" Shopify and Spring store links are down below in this Quora blog post. The links for the paperback, e-book, and now audio version for my first children's book that's entitled, "Not All Girls Play With Dolls" are also down below in this blog post. Both my first children's book and my #ConstructionTales book are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, and Audible. The audio versions of both of my books can be found in four Audible markets that include: France, Dutch, U.K., and the United States. Now that I've wrapped up my "Leslie's book and podcast ad", let's check out the written version of the latest Construction Tales Safety Topic that is known as video #15, Part A on my MP3 and MP4 formats: In this video, I am going to review with you some basic safety tips that pertain to the subject of hot work. What is hot work? Hot work means work involving electric or gas welding, cutting, brazing, or similar flame or spark-producing operations. Even if you are not doing hot work yourself, you still need to be familiar with some basic safety tips when the work happens within your work area. What are some duties that qualified workers must perform either before or during hot work? Here are some items to look out for: 1) {29 CFR §1910.252(a)}- The hot work permit shall document that fire prevention protection requirements have been implemented prior to the beginning of any hot work operations 2) Facilities that perform hot work operations are conducted on or near a covered process shall issue a hot work permit 3) This hot work permit must be kept on file until hot work operations are fully completed 4) The hot work permit must indicate the date(s) of authorization for hot work and identify the object on which hot work is to be performed 5) Sweep the floor of all debris 6) Invest in heat-resistant clothing and wear it each time you start work 7) Make sure all electrical outlets are closed and secure 8) Put fire-resistant mats on the floor to prevent sparks from catching fire 9) Don’t forget to check your goggles and/or face shield for cracks 10) Look for holes and tears in work gloves before turning on any tools 11) Check the ventilation in your work area. If it’s sufficient, use a respirator or face mask to protect yourself from combustible gases 12) Clear your work area of all flammable substances and materials 13) Use proper cable management to secure your tools 14) Keep aisles clear of loose tools, cords, and other potential trip hazards 15) Do a hazard assessment of the workspace before configuring it for hot work activities 16) When working on a busy jobsite, block off your workspace from heavy foot traffic (if possible) 17) Inspect tools, putting emphasis on the condition of cables and wires. If electrical components are exposed, don’t use the equipment 18) Ensure that you have a fire extinguisher or accessible water source nearby 19) Provide the fire watcher with suppressant tools in case of an emergency What are some duties that must be done once the hot work is completed? 1) At the end of every workday, put all combustibles like fuel gas and oxygen tanks in a designated storage area 2) Calibrate your gas detectors frequently to ensure they’re in working order 3) Assign someone to ensure that all fire hazards are controlled, and heat sources are closed off 4) Store tools in a safe place, making sure to keep them away from hazardous energy sources 5) Double check any ducts that you closed during the hot work process and ensure that they don’t need additional maintenance or repair FDNY Hot Work Permit Facts: • A hot work permit is required when using oxygen and a flammable gas, such as acetylene or propane • Permit Cost: $105 • Permit Duration: 1 Year A hot worker must possess a Certificate of Fitness: • 1) G60- Torch Use of Flammable Gases for Hot Work Operations • 2) F60- Fire Guard for Torch Operations Don’t worry. We will cover this (above) in future videos. Now, if you want to get a head start on following the rules, review the following FDNY Chapters on Hot Work: • Chapter 14 • Chapter 26 For more hot work information, check out the website link: • https://www.nyc.gov/site/fdny/business/all-certifications/per-hotworksoperations.page Types Of FDNY Hot Work Permits: • 1) Site-Specific Permits • 2) City-Wide Permits Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on introducing you to hot work and some basic hot work tips needed when working on the average construction project. Accidents can happen on typical construction jobsites here in New York City. The objective is to learn some important safety tips and try to avoid any mishaps in the future. Stay tuned for future videos where I offer even more different types of safety tips. Here is the MP4 visual version of this safety topic on my Verbally Disastrous YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/cxD8ky0OfqQ Well, my friend, this wraps up what I have for now on sharing with you this introduction to hot work. In my previous videos, I had shared with you an example of an accident and the remedy that was crafted in order to lift the partial stop work order. The objective is to share information to help either educate you or help you to not have this experience on your project if you also work in New York City or in construction in general. Stay tuned for the next video where I offer information of fuel-powered portable heaters. I have released this YouTube and podcast video. Therefore, this will be your next written blog topic. In the future, I also want to do question and answers for safety study material since that is a niche that is not plentiful on YouTube.

This is short story #11 entitled, "Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools". This short story covers my life as a widowed, single mother in the era when I juggled both motherhood and my career as a journeywoman electrician. I share the various challenges I faced and lessons learned along the way. The previous short story is entitled: #10: "Early Life Lessons & Characters To Meet As An Apprentice". I decided to write about some life lessons such as guarding your personal information, managing nasty rumors, combating sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism. Overall, the construction culture has improved dramatically over the past 25-years. Developing both a thick skin and a sharp tongue are key tools needed to survive various jobsite antics. I hope you learn something from this short story. There are more to come. These short stories are now also available as Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes.
