Managing the Risks of Hot Works and the Importance of Permits
Hot works—including tasks such as welding, cutting, or grinding—remain one of the most common causes of fire in construction and maintenance activities. Although it's often assumed that "we don’t do hot works," these tasks are frequently carried out by contractors, and it's important to understand the risks involved.
One of the most challenging risk requirements for policyholders is the hot work permit process, yet it's a simple and effective way to control hazards. In this webinar, Shaun Small, Senior Risk Consultant at RiskSTOP, will walk you through how these permits work, the essential safety controls, and how to manage hot works effectively to prevent serious incidents.
