For how long is a temporary permit for torch operations valid?

A temporary permit for torch operations is valid for a duration that ranges from 1 day to 12 months. This timeframe allows for flexibility in scheduling and project timelines, accommodating various types of work that may require the use of torches for cutting or welding. The permit ensures that safety protocols are adhered to during the operation and that adequate precautions are taken to prevent fire hazards.

This validity period aligns with the nature of temporary projects, which can range in length significantly. Thus, having a permit that can cover a wide range of time, from a single day for short, urgent tasks to a full year for longer-term projects, ensures that operators can remain compliant with regulations.
