Closest in the list-Metal products (fabrication and assembly)?How does a welding shop get classified as F-2?
Closest in the list-Metal products (fabrication and assembly)?
Having spent a lot of time in fab shops (welding SI), the amount of stored combustible products is very low. Yes, there is a significant potential for ignition given the sparks, heat, etc. However, the flammable gases and materials are well known and addressed through fairly rigorous safety protocols, often via OSHA regulations. As you think about the occupancy classification and the associated hazards, be mindful to think not only about the function of the space but also the products that would be likely to be stored/manufactured/used within the space.Judgment call, I guess. Welding involves flames and big sparks. There's no way I'm classifying a welding shop as a "low-hazard" anything.
