Description

Increase protection against hot-work injuries with new NFPA 51B protocols for equipment, PPE, and hazard awareness.

The 2009 NFPA 51B: Standard for Fire Prevention During Welding, Cutting, and Other Hot Work provides vital requirements for anyone who manages, supervises, or performs hot work–including outside contractors and property managers. Provisions apply to welding and allied processes, heat treating, grinding, thawing pipe, powder-driven fasteners, hot riveting, and similar applications producing a spark, flame, or heat.

Updated to avoid the latest recognized hazards, NFPA 51B advances safety on the job with:

A new requirement for listed and/or approved welding blankets, pads, and curtains, included definitions of the terms
Updated permit information
Clarification of the “35-foot” rule
Alternative methods to hot work
Requirements for hot work contractor site-specific hazard awareness
New requirements for PPE

To stay up-to-code, reduce fire risks, and ensure the safety of employees and facilities, rely on NFPA 51B.
