How to Safely Utilize Temporary Heating on Construction Sites
As the outdoor temperatures drop, construction employees need to find ways to try and keep the job site warm and safe. Heaters aren’t just for keeping workers warm; they can also stop pipes from freezing and prevent construction materials from becoming compromised in colder conditions. If you want to ensure that you are utilizing heating to the best of your ability, or if you want to ensure that your site is as safe as possible, then this is the guide for you.
Choose the Right Heater
Our team will help you choose which heater suits your project needs. When heating your construction site, you usually have three main types of heaters to choose from. There are indirect-fired heaters powered by propane, natural gas, or diesel. A direct-fire heater will convert its fuel into a heat source as the air is pushed through a flame. The third option is the industry leader for fuel efficiency, the flameless Jet Heat heater.
Heaters will come in a wide range of costs, and some will be more expensive to run when compared to others. We have a wide range of temporary industrial heaters available if you want to choose a heater. Our flameless heater rentals provide a highly efficient way to heat your construction site, with each heater delivering warmth up to 500 feet away.
Establishing a Safe Setup
It is essential to follow industry safety standards when setting up and placing construction heaters. Ensure you put your heaters in a secure and stable location at your construction site. Heaters should be placed in such a position that it stops them from being at risk of tipping over.
Depending on the type of heater, you must also follow specific setup requirements. If you have an indirect-fired heater, it must be placed outdoors with flexible fuel piping and a barricaded fuel tank. Direct-fired heaters must be secured using a non-combustible surface with several feet of clearance. Electric heaters need ground fault protection in a dry environment.
Mitigation Measures
To minimize the risk of fire and CO, suitable mitigation measures must be in place. Smoke and CO2 detection systems must be maintained at the site, and an adequate number of fire extinguishers must be available. Employees must also be trained to use fire extinguishers properly.
