Hot Work Permit
Fire prevention permit system for welding, cutting, grinding, and other spark-producing operations.
About This Template
The Hot Work Permit is a critical fire prevention control required whenever welding, cutting, grinding, or other spark-producing work is performed outside of designated hot work areas. This permit system, aligned with OSHA 1910.252 and NFPA 51B standards, ensures that fire hazards are identified and controlled before any hot work begins. The template requires verification of fire watch personnel, fire extinguisher availability, combustible materials removal, and post-work monitoring. Hot work is a leading cause of industrial fires, and this permit system provides the structured approach needed to prevent devastating losses.
