Episode 28 - Hot Work with The SafetyPro Podcast

We're back with Blaine Hoffmann from The SafetyPro Podcast, for part four of our collaborative series comparing and contrasting the PSM standard with OSHA general industry regulations. In this episode we cover the requirements surrounding Hot Work, any work that involves burning, welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding, using fire- or spark-producing tools, or other work that produces a source of ignition. You'll learn what the PSM standard requires for hot work, its relationship with standard 1910.252 (for general industry), and even about what the OSHA construction standard says about hot work activities. You'll also hear an up close and personal story about hot work and associated hazards, and then we'll walk you through 7 key lessons from the CSB to prevent worker deaths during hot work in and around tanks.  Listen to the Contractor Management episode we referenced a few times here: https://www.amplifyconsultants.com/podcast/episode/2ea6f639/episode-27-contractor-management-with-the-safetypro-podcast  CSB Fact Sheet: Safe Hot Work Practices (Summary of 7 Key Lessons to Prevent Worker Deaths during Hot Work in and around Tanks) Full CSB Safety Bulletin: Seven Key Lessons to Prevent Worker Deaths During Hot Work In and Around Tanks
