Safe Welding, Cutting, and Hot Work Practices in the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2002
Scope:
This recommended practice provides guidelines for safely
conducting welding, cutting or other hot work activities in
reÞneries, gas plants, petrochemical plants and other facilities in
the petroleum and petrochemical industries. It includes speciÞc
guidance to evaluate procedures for certain types of work on
equipment in service.
Not included in the scope are:
Guidance for compliance with regulations or codes.
Hot tapping (it is the subject of API Recommended Practice 2201
Procedures for Hot Tapping on Equipment in Service ).
Welding techniques, craft skills or qualiÞcation of welders.
Normal "safe work" practices such as fall protection, PPE,
slip/trip/fall, etc.
Entry or work in inert environments (see API 2217A).
The principles and resources provided in this document are
widely applicable. Some activities (such as oil drilling or
offshore operations) may be subject to speciÞc regulations or
unique work requirements which should be considered when developing
welding and hot work programs.
While personnel doing welding and other hot work require a high
degree of skill and shall be qualiÞed for the work they are doing,
the qualiÞcation of personnel falls outside the scope of this
document.
API 2009 intends to maintain consistency and compatibility with
ANSI/AWS Z49.1 which provides much more detail on welding
equipment, PPE and certain procedures and NFPA 51B that focuses on
Þres and explosions with guidance covering a broad spectrum of
applications including structures. Additional guidance relating to
welding equipment, techniques, processes and testing used in the
chemical, oil, gas and pipeline industries is provided by API RP
