<br />in excess of 35 ft. horizontally and be hotter than 2,500 degrees F.
<br />2. Identify and avoid combustible materials and conditions: Building floors,
<br />partitions, and roofs. Building contents, such as wood, paper, clothing, plastics,
<br />chemicals, and flammable liquids and gases. Outdoor combustible materials,
<br />including dry leaves, grass, and brush.
<br />Flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dusts, remove combustible materials
<br />from the work area, or move the work to a location well away from combustible
<br />materials. If relocating the work or materials is impossible, cover the
<br />combustible materials with fire-resistant material. Remove or cover
<br />combustible materials within a radius of 35 ft. (10 m) of the work area.

<br />a spill tray.
<br />6. Monitor atmospheric conditions using a 4 gas meter. Do not conduct hot
<br />work in an oxygen rich environment.
<br />7. Be aware of portable grinders and non-intrisically safe tools that may
<br />produce sparks. Maintain a safe radius of 35 ft. (10 m) of the work area.
<br />8. Place tanks upright, chained securely in a cart on level ground. Securely
<br />tighten valves, do not place hoses where the could become damaged.

<br />ground.
<br />12. When working in enclosed areas or confined space, always monitor
<br />atmospheric conditions to ensure no toxic environment or explosion hazard
<br />exits. (Oxygen, LEL, H2s, CO, HC).
<br />13. Use caution tape, snow fence, barricades, signage or spotter to prevent
<br />unauthorized entry of work area. Communicate to client and other essential
<br />personnel associated with the project.

<br />not allow personnel to stand within 20' of work area when such tasks are

<br />15. Do not place hands or body near hot or cold surfaces. Use suitable thermal
<br />protection as insulation from hazardous hot/cold pipes or surfaces. Protective
<br />shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained and in reliable
<br />condition.
