Where should permits be kept for inspection by Fire Department representatives?

Permits must be kept readily available on the premises to ensure that they can be easily accessed and inspected by Fire Department representatives. This accessibility is crucial for compliance with fire safety regulations and allows for efficient verification of the necessary authorizations for torch operations. It ensures that safety measures are in place and that the permit holder is operating within the guidelines set forth by the Fire Department.

While keeping permits in an owner’s office or a locked cabinet could provide some security, these locations may not facilitate immediate access during an inspection. Additionally, uploading permits to a digital platform, while useful for record-keeping, does not negate the requirement for physical availability on-site for compliance checks. Thus, having permits readily accessible on the premises aligns with best practices for fire safety and regulatory compliance.
