Description
Hot work on construction sites is often associated with welding and cutting. However, any work with the potential to start a fire due to producing excessive heat will be considered hot work.
Fires on construction sites are often started from a quick five minute job in areas not intended for welding or cutting. Using a hot work permit before performing any hot work on site, is one of the steps in a hot work management program. This reduces the risk of starting a fire by hot work in areas where there are flammable or combustible materials.
Hot work can be dangerous if not managed properly and hazards are overlooked and not considered. Our hot work toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and prevent hazards related to hot work carried out on site.
If you are carrying out hot work, our Fire Safety Toolbox Talk might also be of interest to you as well.
