Fire tips for hot work in roof waterproofing construction

Event recap

The restaurant that caught fire was named "Fangzhuan No. 69 Fried Sauce Noodles (Qianmenmen)" on a review website, and netizens' comments showed that it was an Internet celebrity store with many tourists checking in, and there were many daily diners. At the time of the fire, it was during the peak period of in-store dining, and the waterproof construction on the roof of the second floor of the hotel was carried out, which not only disturbed everyone's meal, but also caused potential safety hazards and expanded the risk of accidents.

Cause: Multiple violations led to a fire

1. The construction party does not even have the qualification of a construction enterprise, and illegally subcontracts individual construction.

2. The hotel involved "No. 69 Fried Sauce Noodles of the Square Brick Factory" was carried out during the business period and during the peak period of dining, which was an obvious violation of laws and regulations.

3. Although the "Fire Permit" was issued for this hot operation, it was not filed on the "Qi'an'an" platform as required.

4. Illegal use of asphalt waterproof materials near flammable materials for open flame melting construction, illegal use of liquefied petroleum gas.

Penalty Results

Workers were detained and restaurants were sealed

Waterproofing is an important item in construction engineering

Heating devices such as blowtorches are required

Due to waterproof construction

Fire caused by the use of open flames has occurred from time to time

Jinhua, Zhejiang

2024.3

In March 2024, a man in Pujiang, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, was administratively detained by the public security organs in accordance with the law for causing a fire due to improper operation while carrying out waterproof construction. During the construction process, when Liu used a spray gun to heat the waterproof material, the flame passed through the hole and gap between the roof platform and the inner wall, igniting the firewood piled up in the house and causing a fire.

On May 5, 2023, in Guangxin District, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, a fire broke out on the third floor of a furniture factory, and thick smoke continued to pour out from the window. After investigation, the worker Guo was carrying out waterproof construction at that time, and during the construction process, Guo used an open flame to heat the waterproof membrane, which accidentally ignited the foam stacked aside, thus causing a fire.

Fire alerts you

Waterproof operation is divided into four types of construction methods: hot melt method, cold adhesive method, self-adhesive method and wet paving method according to whether the heating method is used during construction. Among them, the use of hot melt method to heat SBS modified asphalt waterproofing membrane is the most widely used in our city. The hot-melt method construction uses a flame spray gun and a blowtorch to bake the asphalt layer and the bonding base layer on the bottom surface of the hot-melt coil, and the asphalt is paved immediately when it is in a molten state, and the risk of fire caused by the use of blowtorch in the heating process is high.

In 2020, the Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of the Safe Use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas at Construction Sites", which clearly prohibits the use of liquefied petroleum gas for waterproof operations. At present, the hot melt method construction in our city mainly adopts two heating methods: gasoline blowtorch and propane spray gun.

For hot melt waterproof construction, safety operation procedures should be strictly observed:

01

The construction is carried out by a professional and qualified team, and the operators are certified to work after professional training.

02

When formulating the construction plan, it is necessary to carry out a detailed survey of the site to identify the fire hazard sources, such as whether the roof structure is combustible, whether the parapet or adjacent wall insulation materials in the operation area are combustible, and whether there are combustible gases or dust in the operation area.

03

Check whether the waterproof operation equipment is intact, do a good job in the management of the flat meter tube, and do not use the equipment with faults or damage, so as to ensure that the hose connection is well airtight and there is no serious aging deformation.

04

Appropriate and sufficient fire extinguishing equipment is selected according to the operating area and potential risks, and placed in a location that is easily accessible on site.

05

Strictly handle the approval procedures for fire, equip on-site care of fire watchers, and carry out online "three fillings, three certificates, and three licenses" through the "fire reporting" system of the "Qi'an'an" platform, and use video surveillance and other technical measures in the construction area to strengthen dynamic monitoring and inspection and inspection.

06

Before starting a fire, the combustibles on the construction site should be thoroughly cleaned up, and it is strictly forbidden to start a fire in case of strong winds or other extremely bad weather.

07

It is strictly forbidden to use paint, as well as organic solvent ethylenediamine, cold bottom oil and other materials that volatilize and produce flammable gases and intersect with thermal insulation construction operations.

08

At the end of the hot work, the site should be thoroughly cleaned again to ensure that no ignition source is left.

09

Once a fire occurs during the fire process, the police should be immediately called to organize a firefight.
