WORK STEPS
UTILITY LOCATE
3.1.1 Prior to this process the Constructor will provide to the TTC the Constructor's Lockout/Tag-out/Isolation procedures. The TTC Construction Inspector will supply the Contractor
with blank Site Service Isolation forms.
If there are no surface penetrations (excavating, drilling, cutting, coring, etc.), the
Constructor may request a Service Isolation of services near the work area; continue at
step 3.2.1.
3.1.2 The Constructor contacts the Construction Inspector requesting a utility locate on TTC
properties and provides the following information to the Construction Inspector:
The work location,

The specific service locates required, and
The applicable contract drawings indicating the utilities.
3.1.3 The Construction Inspector contacts the Locate Service provider and arranges an on-site
meeting with the Locate Service representative and the Constructor. The Construction Inspector
forwards the information received from the Constructor to the Locate Service representative for
review prior to the meeting.
3.1.4 The Construction Inspector, Constructor and Locate Service representative meet at the
work site to review the relevant drawings and scope of work.
3.1.5 When the utilities have been clearly marked and locates completed, the Locate Service
provider produces a report and reviews the findings with the Constructor and the Construction
Inspector; the Locate Report is then signed, and a copy retained, by the Constructor and the

Hot Work Checklist

Before Field Office Personnel (FOP) can issue a Hot Work Permit, the Contractor
shall ensure that the following precautions are taken;
1.
Cutting and welding equipment has been inspected to make sure bottles are secure.
Cylinders have been supported or located in such a way that they cannot be knocked over.
2.
Hoses have been inspected for bums, cuts, worn places, abrasions and similar defects.
Taped repairs are unacceptable.
3.
Hose connections have
been inspected to make sure
they are secure and tight.
4.
The
presence
or
development
of
possibly
explosive mixtures of flammable
gases or vapours and air has
been checked.
5.
The possible presence of
an oxygen-enriched atmosphere
in the location where the work is
to be performed has been
checked.
6.
Work area has been
inspected to ensure it is safe for
welding and cutting operations,
by being clear of combustibles
or ensure the work is moved to a
location free from combustibles.
Where the work could not be
moved, the combustibles have
been moved to a safe distance
or the combustibles have been
properly shielded against ignition.
The hot work 15 m rule
Pallelized
storage
Cart of
Remove or shield from sparks all

potential fuels within 15 m of the
work area. (In this case, the paint
cart and palletized storage have
been moved.
Empty racks on which the work is to

be done of all storage
Close fire doors and seal floor

openings such as the area
surrounding process piping with
non-combustible caulking
Cover heavy combustible storage
that is impractical to move with
the fire-resistive tarpaulin
7.
Where combustible materials, such as paper clippings, wood shavings, or textile fibres, are
on the floor, the floor has been swept clean for a radius of 15 metres. Combustible floors have
been kept wet, covered with damp sand, or protected by non-combustible or fire-retardant
shields. Where floors have been wet down, personnel operating arc welding or cutting equipment
are being protected from possible electric shock.
8.
All combustibles have been relocated at least 15 metres horizontally from the work site.
Where relocation is impractical, combustibles have been protected with fire-retardant covers or
otherwise shielded with metal or fire-retardant guards or curtains. Edges of covers at the floor

Engineering Construction Branch
G/1#1080873
Hot Work Checklist

are tight to prevent sparks from going under them, including where several covers overlap when
protecting a large pile.
D
D
9.
Openings or cracks in walls, floors, under locked doors, ducts or drains within 15 metres of
the site have been tightly covered with fire-retardant or non-combustible material to prevent the
passage of sparks to adjacent areas.
10. Where welding and cutting is done near a wall, partition, ceiling, or roof of combustible
construction, fire-retardant shields or guards have been provided to prevent ignition.
11. Where welding and cutting is to be done on a wall, partition, ceiling, or roof, precautions
have been taken to prevent ignition of combustibles on the other side by relocating combustibles.
Where it is impractical to relocate combustibles, a fire watch on the opposite side from the work
has been provided as described in {15).
12. Welding and cutting will not be attempted on a partition, wall, ceiling, or roof that has a
combustible covering or insulation, or on walls or partitions of combustible sandwich-type panel
construction.
13. Welding and cutting that is performed on pipes or other metal that is in contact with a
combustible wall, partition, ceiling, roof, or other combustibles will not be undertaken if the work is
close enough to cause ignition by conduction.
14. Fully charged and operable fire extinguisher{s) that are appropriate for the type of potential
fire are available immediately at the work area. A small water or garden type hose may be used
as a substitute for a class "A" fire extinguisher.
15. A FW is supplied as per the requirements stated in the Contract Documents. More than one
Fire Watch person will be supplied, if combustible materials that could be ignited cannot be
directly observed by the primary FW person.
16. Where heavy smoke is generated, additional measures will be taken to prevent it from
preading, such as venting it to the outside or using a smoke "eating" machine. If heavy smoke
cannot be avoided then the work will be performed when the building is not occupied.
Note: If necessary, request isolation of the fire alarm detection zone, fire alarm system, or,
sprinkler systems in the immediate area to prevent false alarms. If it is determined by TTC that
this is not possible or is impractical, the contractor shall use alternate methods as agreed with the
FOP.
