Hot work does not refer to the temperature of the workplace. It is work that involves burning, welding, riveting, grinding, using fire or spark-producing tools—or other work that produces a source of ignition. Are these activities in your workplace? Do you have contractors who come into your worksite to perform hot work, such as a plumber coming to fix a leaking pipe?
If you use any flammable and combustible materials in your facility, you need awareness and knowledge of how hot work can impact your workplace. The last thing you need in your workplace is a fire.
Join this session to gain basic awareness of hot work and next steps you can take to prevent a hot work incident.
