Thermal energy: trigger questions and direct controls

This energy type is present. This tool does not calculate it.

Hot work, hot surfaces, steam and cryogenic liquids injure on contact and start fires long after the work finishes. Ignition and burns are controlled by separation and verification, not calculation.

Trigger questions

Is there an ignition source and anything that can burn within reach of sparks or heat?
Is a hot work permit required and in place?
Are hot surfaces present that people can touch during or after the work?
Is a fire watch required during and after the work?
Could cryogenic or very cold surfaces cause contact burns?

Controls to verify

Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.

Combustibles are removed or protected before hot work starts.
Fire watch covers the full required period after work stops.
Hot and cold surfaces are guarded or signed.
Extinguishing equipment is present and suitable.

Some energy cannot be reduced to a simple field calculation. Where this energy is present in the work, treat it as high energy: the decision is made by presence, not arithmetic. Use the trigger questions and competent-person verification instead of a number.
