2、OCTOBER 2010SPECIAL NOTESAPI publications necessarily address problems of a general nature. With respect to partic-ular circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers, manufacturers, or suppliers towarn and prop

3、erly train and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning healthand safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obligations under local, state, or fed-eral laws.Information concerning safety and health risks and proper precautions with respect to par-ticular materials and conditio

4、ns should be obtained from the employer, the manufacturer orsupplier of that material, or the material safety data sheet.Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, byimplication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, or prod-

5、uct covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication be con-strued as insuring anyone against liability for infringement of letters patent.Generally, API standards are reviewed and revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn at least everyfive years. Sometimes a one-time extensi

6、on of up to two years will be added to this reviewcycle. This publication will no longer be in effect five years after its publication date as anoperative API standard or, where an extension has been granted, upon republication.

14、flammable or combustible liquids or gases. The essential elements of this publication arebased on accumulated knowledge and experience of the petroleum industry, current industrysafe operating practices, and existing consensus standards. The practices described in thispublication are designed to pro

15、tect the safety of personnel and the facilities for the workinvolved. It shall be noted, however, that special problems beyond the scope of this publica-tion are possible. Also, federal, state and local regulations or laws may contain additionalrequirements that must be taken into account when a hot

16、 tap program is developed for a spe-cific facility.API publications may be used by anyone desiring to do so.

A detailed,written, job-specific hot t

If there are standing procedures for hottapping they should be reviewed for applicability to the spe-cific job to be done. These procedures may need revision inresponse to unique job spe

It is not intended that any recommendations inthis publication be applied retroactively to work performed atexisting facilities. This recommended practice should provideuseful guidance when there is a desire or need to review pro-cedures, programs or facilities.1.4 CONCEPT OF HAZARD VS. RISK Hazards are properties of materials with the inherent abil-ity to cause harm. Flammability, toxicity, corrosivity, storedchemical or mechanical energy all are hazards associatedwith various industrial materials. R
