OSU Construction Practices

Hot Work Permits

Before welding, cutting, soldering or other hot work is begun, a Hot Work Permit must be issued (in person) by EHS personnel.   At the discretion of the Safety Inspector, the permit shall be issued either daily or for the duration of the project.

Failure to notify the EHS office of hot work could result in unintended fire alarms.

Repeated fire alarm activation due to unauthorized hot work may result in the AHJ imposing a monetary fine on the responsible parties.
