If the placement location does not meet these requirements, how should it be addressed? Is it necessary to obtain another hot work permit?
The distance between the welding machine and the area where heating operations are carried out should not exceed 10 meters. Since electric sparks can be generated when the wiring of the welding machine becomes loose, this is considered to be a situation involving heating operations; therefore, treating the welding machine and the area of heating operations as one unit for regulatory purposes is appropriate； When the horizontal distance exceeds 10m, a distribution box can be used to address this issue
