Course Description

The term ‘hot work’ refers to any labor involving open flames or produces sparks, or can start a fire by other means. This typically includes welding, wheel or torch cutting, brazing, soldering, and grinding, but it can include other work.  

Because this type of work poses such a unique combination of both safety and health hazards to workers, it requires a substantial amount of controls.

The goal of this lesson is to provide required training in the hazards of hot work and the basic requirements for reducing the risk of injury.
