Hot Work Course – Theory, Exam, and Fire Extinguisher Drill
This course is suitable for anyone who performs hot work where insurance requirements mandate a certificate. This typically refers to work that produces flames, sparks, or intense heat outside a permanent, designated worksite.
Learn the theory—schedule a fire drill locally
Arrange the fire extinguisher drill with an instructor who meets the certification program’s requirements. The drill can be conducted locally if the location, equipment, and instructor meet the requirements. You must conduct the drill yourself, and it must be documented. Clarify the details of the drill before you book the course.
Here's what you'll learn
- Fire Risks and Common Causes of Fires
- Risk Assessment and Safety Regulations
- Use of a checklist before work begins
- fire watch, firefighting equipment, and emergency preparedness
- Safe execution and inspection after the work is completed
Here's how to finish
- Sign up for the course.
- Complete the course and pass the individual exam.
- Conduct and document a practical fire drill.
- The certificate is issued once the entire course has been approved.
Deadline: Training and fire extinguishing drills must normally be completed within three months. For renewal, recertification must be completed before the current certificate expires.
Who is this course for?
These include welders, roofers, plumbers, sheet metal workers, mechanics, carpenters, and others who use equipment that could start a fire. The company must determine whether the work is covered by the relevant safety regulations.
Is the course required by law?
The certification requirement is normally tied to the insurance industry’s safety regulations, not a general government-mandated training requirement for all work that generates heat. The requirement must be evaluated in light of the work site, the work method, and the company’s insurance terms and conditions.
