Section 618.5315 - Permit for hot work1. A permit is required for any hot work performed at an operation facility, except for work performed in a welding shop that is permanently established at the facility. Each employer shall designate a qualified employee to issue such permits.2. A permit for hot work: (a) Must certify that, before the beginning of the work, there has been compliance with the requirements for fire prevention and protection contained in 29 C.F.R. §§ 1910.251 and 1910.252;(b) Must identify the equipment or facility on which the work is to be done; and(c) Must be kept at the site of the work until the work is completed.3. A permit for hot work remains valid as long as the work continues without interruption. If work is interrupted for more than 90 minutes, a new permit must be issued before work is resumed. If work is interrupted for 90 minutes or less, the person to whom the permit is issued shall inspect the area for any hazardous condition before resuming work. If any such condition exists, it must be corrected before work is resumed.4. As used in this section, "hot work" means any work involving welding, cutting, brazing, grinding or any similar activity that produces a flame or a spark.Nev. Admin. Code § 618.5315
