The Kissimmee project has this cutting/welding condition: combustibles cannot be moved from the area. Which fire-prevention control should be documented?

Correct Answer

A) protect combustibles

Hot work requires controlling combustibles and maintaining fire-watch/fire-prevention measures as conditions require.

Answer Options
A
protect combustibles
B
weld faster to limit sparks
C
wet only the floor below
D
post a no-smoking sign

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Hot work requires controlling combustibles and maintaining fire-watch/fire-prevention measures as conditions require.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: weld faster to limit sparks

weld faster to limit sparks may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot-work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Option C: wet only the floor below

wet only the floor below may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot-work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Option D: post a no-smoking sign

post a no-smoking sign may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot-work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

Name the harm before the guard; weld, faster, limit cannot stand in for Superintendent Controls.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab OSHA 29 CFR 1926 to Subpart J, 1926.352 Fire prevention and welding/cutting; verify the OSHA safety threshold or jobsite control before answering.
