General Requirements - Fire Prevention and Protection

Fire prevention and protection include basic precautions, special precautions, and safety precautions for the unique situations involving welding and cutting containers, and welding in confined spaces.

The basic precautions for fire prevention in welding, cutting, and brazing focus on removal of fire hazards. They include the following:
  • If the object to be welded or cut cannot readily be moved, all movable fire hazards in the vicinity shall be taken to a safe place
  • If the object to be welded or cut cannot be moved and if all the fire hazards cannot be removed, then guards shall be used to confine the heat, sparks, and slag, and to protect the immovable fire hazards
  • If the above requirements cannot be met, then welding and cutting shall not be performed.
