What is the time validity of a temporary site-specific permit?

The time validity of a temporary site-specific permit is established within a range of 1 to 12 months. This flexibility is crucial for managing varying project timelines and requirements associated with hazardous operations such as torch cutting or welding. The permit allows for ongoing reviews of the safety and operations involved, adapting to changing conditions or project scopes.

This multi-month validity acknowledges that situations may arise that necessitate adjustments to the permit, such as changes in project durations or safety assessments. A period extending beyond 12 months would typically not qualify as 'temporary,' thus 1 to 12 months provides an appropriate and practical timeframe for such operations.

The other durations mentioned, such as a maximum of 6 months, a fixed period of 12 months only, or a designation as permanent, would not align with the adaptable nature that temporary site-specific permits are designed to support.
