Production Relation Operations that Require Fire Resistant Clothing



Production-Related Operations
  
In OSHA's experience, the potential for flash fire also exists in production-related operations that fall outside of drilling and well servicing. CSHOs shall determine whether FRC is provided and worn during production-related operations, such as:
  • Equipment openings (e.g., line breaking or valve changes)
  • Gauging
  • Transfer of hydrocarbons
  • Maintenance operations on production equipment
  • Hot work operations
  • Tank heating
  • Using open flame
  • Start-up operations
