A welder is ready to cut embeds beside stored packaging, but no hot-work controls or fire watch have been set up. What should be done?

Correct Answer

A) Set up the required hot-work controls before cutting begins

Hot work should not begin until the required permit, combustible control, extinguisher, and fire-watch measures are in place. Other choices leave ignition hazards unmanaged.

Answer Options
A
Set up the required hot-work controls before cutting begins
B
Cut first because the work is brief, leaving hot work control unverified
C
The project manager should move only the largest box and start
D
Treat the item as a closeout correction tied to hot work control

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Hot work should not begin until the required permit, combustible control, extinguisher, and fire-watch measures are in place. Other choices leave ignition hazards unmanaged.
