About
"Hot work" refers to any activity or process that involves using open flames or generating heat or sparks that have the potential to ignite flammable materials, gases, or vapors in the work area.
Common examples of hot work include welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding, and use of torches or other tools that produce heat or sparks. These jobs can be hazardous due to the risk of fire or explosion if proper precautions are not taken which can lead to workplace fires, property damage, injuries, or even fatalities.
Our course is designed to cover everything you need for safe operations, such as addressing destructive fires caused by cutting, welding, and other work generating heat and sparks. We want to especially emphasize thorough site inspection before starting hot work and the importance of obtaining a permit. Case studies will be used to illustrate the negative consequences of ignoring or not complying with hot work duties. A certificate will be awarded once the course has been completed.
