HSE-FP001b_English: Hot Work Risk Management for Complex Industrial Sites

Hot work is a term used to describe any activity that involves the use of equipment or tools that generate heat, sparks, or flames. Examples of hot work activities include welding, soldering, cutting, grinding, brazing, and torching. While these activities are essential in many industries, they also pose a significant fire risk if not performed safely. Hot work accidents can lead to property damage, injuries, and even fatalities. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that proper safety measures are in place before conducting any hot work activity.
