Is it recommended to be prepared to shut down the pressurized piping system during a hot tapping operation, in case an unsafe situation occurs?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: True

It is important to be prepared to shut down the pressurized piping system during a hot tapping operation in case of an unsafe situation. This is because during a hot tapping operation, a hole is being drilled into a pressurized pipe, which can release dangerous materials or cause pressure changes that could result in an unsafe situation. Therefore, it is recommended to have a plan in place to quickly shut down the system in case of an emergency. Option B, false, is incorrect because it is not safe to assume that no precautions need to be taken during a hot tapping operation. It is always important to have safety measures in place.
