This BYK Hot Work Permit template helps teams plan, authorize, and document hot work such as welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding, and any task with open flames or potential ignition sources, including work in electrically classified hazardous locations. It guides users through job details, hazard and risk assessment, PPE selection, and required controls like housekeeping, shielding, gas cylinder security, and protection of combustibles. The permit also prompts for additional permits, establishes barricading and a trained fire watch, and requires a three-person authorization walkdown. Closeout confirms housekeeping, signage, and tool removal. Permit duration is limited to one production shift.
