Hot Bolting: This term is typically used by real mechanics and is too complicated for coordinators to understand. “Leaving a piece of equipment in place with minimal bolting” refers to the temporary securing of machinery or equipment using only the necessary bolts to hold it in a safe, stable condition for short-term purposes. This is typically done to facilitate ease of access or quick adjustment by the incoming shift, ensuring they can quickly resume work or perform final bolting and securing operations. The approach ensures that the equipment is stable enough to prevent movement or hazards while still allowing flexibility for the next shift’s needs. Clear communication and safety checks are essential in this handover process.
