Overview

At Jason Rowley Training, we deliver comprehensive Hot Work Training Courses designed to raise awareness of the hazards, responsibilities, and risk control measures associated with hot work in a wide range of industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. This training supports businesses and contractors in complying with health and safety law, while ensuring personnel are fully prepared to carry out hot work activities safely and responsibly.

Whether welding, cutting, brazing, grinding, or using heat-producing tools, hot work can pose a serious risk of fire or explosion. Our expert-led course equips professionals with a clear understanding of the safety protocols required to mitigate these risks. The course is ideally suited for both employees who carry out hot work and for managers, supervisors, and duty holders responsible for overseeing such activities on site.

What Is Hot Work?

According to GOV.UK, hot work refers to “any activity or process that generates flame, heat, or an incendiary spark, and introduces (or presents) a foreseeable risk of fire or explosion through a source of ignition by means of tools or equipment.”

Common types of hot work include:

  • Welding
  • Soldering
  • Cutting
  • Grinding
  • Brazing
  • Use of blow torches or heat guns

 

Hot work is one of the leading causes of fire-related incidents in the workplace. In the UK alone, it has contributed to more than £68 million in losses over the past decade.
