Hot Works training for work with open flame

Welding, cutting, grinding and other work with an open flame or a hot surface are activities with an increased risk of fire under Section 1(1) of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll. on fire prevention.

Before carrying them out away from a permanent workplace you need a permit for the activity, a secured work site, a fire watch and an inspection of the site after the work is finished.

Content of the training: assessment of the site and its surroundings, preparation of the work site and removal of flammable substances, the permit for work with an open flame, the duties of the fire watch, extinguishing equipment and inspection of the site after the work is finished.

The training is also intended for contractors from whom operators of industrial sites require a Hot Works document. Participants receive a training record and a certificate.

For such work, the statutory body or its responsible representative issues a written instruction on fire protection. It sets out the conditions under which the work may be carried out, the composition and equipment of the fire watch, the firefighting equipment, the responsible persons, and the content of training for the fire watch and for the people involved in the work (Section 3(2) and (3) of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll.).

If you carry out the work for another company, these obligations lie with the company you work for, unless you agree otherwise in writing (Section 3(4) of Decree No. 121/2002 Coll.). That is why site operators ask contractors for proof of training before they enter the workplace.
