Before conducting hot work with a citywide permit, how many hours must the permit holder notify the premises owner in writing?

The requirement for notifying the premises owner in writing prior to conducting hot work with a citywide permit is set at 48 hours. This is crucial for ensuring that all safety measures and precautions are adequately arranged before any hot work begins. The 48-hour notice allows the owner sufficient time to assess the situation, address any potential hazards, and ensure that necessary safety protocols are in place. This notice period is part of the regulations designed to minimize risks associated with hot work operations, which can include welding, cutting, or other activities that generate heat and sparks. By establishing this timeframe, it promotes communication and collaboration between the hot work team and the property owner to maintain safety and compliance with the relevant fire safety codes and standards.
