Federal regulations require anyone performing “hot work” (see definition in Rule 5-091) on GPA terminals to apply for hot work permit. The permit application can be found on the GPA website in the Protective Service section or by clicking here. The purpose of this permit is to document and track construction and/or repair work activity, involving hot work, to insure such activity is safely conducted. The permit provides a step-by-step checklist for hot work safety, as well as serving as a reminder of the permittee’s responsibilities before, during, and after any hot work is conducted on GPA’s terminals. Contact GPA Port Police at 912-966-7875 or 912-964-3925 for any questions regarding hot work or when hot work will prevent the sailing of a vessel or stop the movement of cargo.
