Is the use of handheld power tools such as cordless drills, **drills, and electric wrenches in a company’s no-fire zone considered an activity that involves working with fire?

Answers from the Chemical Industry Association’s Q&A: Besides the situations specified in this standard, what other types of operations might require management in a manner similar to that applied to hot work? To determine whether an operation constitutes hot work, one should consider the three elements of combustion; the key factor here is whether an ignition source can be established. Except for the situations defined in this standard, the following common scenarios should be managed in accordance with the procedures for hot work: (1) Generation of sparks or hot debris through impact of objects in no-fire zones. (2) Sparks are generated by hitting with non-explosion-proof tools, as well as when the tools are used for demolition. (3) Situations where a high-temperature surface is generated due to heat conduction, where a high-temperature surface arises from high resistance during electrical work, and situations where no open flame is produced directly but a high-temperature surface may arise during the operation. During the use of PVC pipe welding guns, high-temperature surfaces can be generated; although no open flame is produced, using such equipment in areas where fires are prohibited still constitutes hot work. (4) Use of non-explosion-proof electrical equipment in areas with explosion hazards. (5) Sparks were generated when using a pickaxe to break up the ground in a no-fire area. (6) Use a non-explosion-proof electric screwdriver to secure the insulation aluminum sheet during pipeline insulation work.
Sparks or hot debris generated by hitting objects in no-fire zones are subject to the management regulations for hot work
