Working safely
Hot work permit
Hot work with no blind spot on fire detection.
The situation
Welding, grinding, cutting: all hot work requires a permit, and often means temporarily inhibiting fire detectors. It is the most dangerous moment of the job — and the one where reactivating detection is most easily forgotten.
What the module does
The permit follows its full cycle, from request to release, with the signatures required at the start and end of the work: requester, operations manager, work supervisor, checking officer.
Hot work points are described and safety conditions set out.
The module controls detector inhibition: which detectors, which zone, from when, with a complete inhibition history.
The rule that makes the difference
A hot work permit still open prevents the release of the associated isolation permit. This cross-interlock closes the classic gap between the two procedures.
Key benefits
- No inhibited detector forgotten: every inhibition is traced, dated and tied to a permit
- The cross-interlock with isolation permits
- The four regulatory signatures, at start and end, time-stamped
