When fire activities are carried out, for example, it concerns the fire heating of bitumen, gas and electric cutting works, gasoline and kerosene cutting works, soldering works, metal cutting with a mechanized tool, at a temporary place, a person is appointed who is responsible for fire safety. There is a requirement to issue a work permit for the implementation of fire activities according to the attached forms, in addition, the work must be approved by the chief engineer or director of the enterprise. With regard to personal responsibility for the proper execution of work permits for the implementation of fire measures, it is borne by the official responsible for fire safety, who, within the framework of his professional activity controls these activities.

In order to start carrying out hot work, which also applies to emergency cases, a written permit or work permit is required. In addition, a person should be appointed who will be personally responsible for the process of preparing and conducting fire events. The expected volume and essence of the preparatory work should also be determined, which directly concerns the sequence of its implementation, measures to ensure the safety of fire events, in addition, the air environment and protective equipment should be controlled. To issue an admission order should be in two copies, in addition, they must be transferred to the person responsible for preparations and directly - the implementation of fire measures for their implementation. The work permit must include all performers of hot work who are members of the brigade. In addition, the work permit must include the result of the briefing by the working personnel. If necessary, the work permit must be agreed with the related service or workshop. The first copy of the work permit is received by the person responsible for the implementation of fire activities, and the second is received by the person in charge of the structural unit where fire activities are supposed to be carried out, which should be recorded in the appropriate journal, where records of work permits and orders are entered. Hot work may only be started after the relevant permit has been issued by the person who is authorized to carry out hot work. The requirement to issue a work permit is provided for all types of fire activities. In the event that hot work should be continued beyond the established period, the person in charge of the structural unit where the implementation of fire measures is supposed to be carried out is obliged to extend the work permit. Before the implementation of fire measures at an enterprise or structural unit, it is necessary to develop instructions that will help organize the safe implementation of fire measures.

Before fire activities start, a person must be appointed who will be responsible for the implementation of these activities. The responsible person can be appointed from those who are familiar with the rules aimed at the safe conduct of fire activities at the facility, who, moreover, have completed a fire-technical minimum training course. Before starting the implementation of fire measures, it is necessary to make sure that there are no explosive and explosive substances in the air in the air.
