More Definitions of general work permit
general work permit is often required to be issued in addition to a “Hot Work Form” at many COMPANY Facilities). In all cases, whenever a “Hot Work Form” is determined required an Authorized Gas Tester must perform gas testing (at the minimum) for % Oxygen and % LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) and the results recorded on the “Hot Work Form”. The % Oxygen at the point being sampled must always be at or greater than 16% in order to ensure the accuracy of the % LEL reading. A “Hot Work Form” (permit) shall only be issued if the gas test results indicate 0% LEL. At no time shall hot work be allowed to be performed or the hot work allowed to be continued if the % Oxygen at the point being sampled falls below 16% or should the LEL be greater than 0%.
