The Eustis project has this cutting/welding condition: welding continues after fire watch leaves. Which fire-prevention control should be documented?

Correct Answer

B) maintain fire watch

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

Answer Options
A
stop only if smoke shows
B
maintain fire watch
C
finish quickly with no watch
D
a passerby keeps an eye out

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 A: stop only if smoke shows

stop only if smoke shows may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot-work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Option C: finish quickly with no watch

finish quickly with no watch may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot-work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Option D: a passerby keeps an eye out

a passerby keeps an eye out may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the hot-work fire prevention exposure being tested.

Memory Technique

If Superintendent Controls can still reach the worker, the control is decoration.

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.
