Hot Work and Safety Compliance - What you need to know

Welding, soldering, brazing, grinding, and drilling all pose fire risks – especially in areas containing flammable or combustible materials. Dry timber, wood debris, adhesives, insulating materials and soft furnishings are just some of the things that can so easily ignite.

Working with ignition sources near flammable materials is called “Hot Work.” If you’re undertaking Hot Work, you need to plan ahead and understand how to minimise the risk of fire. Ask yourself:

  • Do you have the correct firefighting equipment for your working area?
  • Do you have a fire blanket to protect flammable items?
  • Have you cleared the area of combustible materials?
  • Are you aware of your emergency exits and assembly point?
  • Is the storage and disposal of flammable materials adequate?

The Firechief Hot Work Kit is an ‘All in One’ kit developed especially for contractors who carry out on-site Hot Work, all wrapped up in a handy portable bag. Each kit contains the fire safety equipment you need to be Hot Work safety compliant
