Hot Work Safety Training

Hot Work Safety Training.

Hot Work Safety Training.

Hot work training built on your permit system: welding, cutting and grinding controls, fire watch duties and the checks that keep sparks from becoming incidents.

Did you know?

Hot work is a leading cause of industrial fires, and the risk outlasts the task: smoldering debris can ignite long after the job ends. Controls and fire watch discipline are what training builds.

Hot Work Safety Training

Hot work is any task that produces flames, sparks or enough heat to act as an ignition source, and it covers far more than the welding bay:

  • Welding, brazing and soldering
  • Flame and plasma cutting
  • Grinding, cutting discs and abrasive wheels
  • Torch-applied roofing and bitumen work
  • Heat guns, preheating and open flames

Hot work is a leading cause of industrial fires. The risk extends beyond the task itself: combustible material within spark range, vapors that were never tested for, and smoldering debris that ignites after the job has ended and the area has emptied.

Hot work training covers the whole control chain: recognizing what counts as hot work, preparing and checking the area, controlling combustibles, protecting what can't be moved, and holding the fire watch until the risk has actually passed. Issuers, welders and fire watchers train the same situations from their own roles.

Why SHIIFT

SHIIFT works across every training format, which means the recommendation you get is honest: the mix that fits your permits, your crews, your sites and your fire risks. Scenarios cover the full window, including the fire watch after the torch goes quiet.

  • Training videos: hot work fires that started after everyone left, which is why the fire watch window gets full attention
  • Animation: spark travel, hidden combustibles and smoldering ignition, none of which can be demonstrated live
  • E-learning: permit conditions and combustible controls for every role that issues, performs or watches hot work
  • Interactive scenarios: area preparation and fire watch judgment scored per learner, including when conditions void the permit
  • VR: full intensity for hot work in sensitive areas, where one mistake is one too many
  • Posters: fire watch duties and exclusion visuals at the job front, matched to the permit wording
  • PowerPoint materials: issuer and welder briefing decks for permit-to-task alignment

Every role in the chain trains on the same situations, and decisions can report through optional SCORM integration.

Get Started

We train issuers, welders and fire watchers on the same situations from their own roles: area preparation, combustible control, monitoring and the authority to stop.

Scenario results can report per learner to your LMS through the optional SCORM integration, giving you evidence that everyone holding a torch, or watching one, understands the controls.

Common questions

What does hot work training cover?

+

We cover area preparation, combustible control, permit conditions, fire watch duties and post-work monitoring, built on your own hot work procedures.

Can it use our hot work permit forms?

+

We build from your forms and authority levels, so the training matches exactly what your crews sign and issue.

Which formats does hot work training use?

+

We build hot work training in any of our formats: videos, animation, e-learning, interactive scenarios, posters and briefing decks. The recommendation follows your permit system, your sites, your crews and your fire risks.

Does it cover fire watch as well as the welder?

+

We train the whole chain, with dedicated attention on the fire watch role, including the monitoring window after the work ends.

Can training assets be reused for future courses?

+

Where a program builds 3D assets, we reuse the site and equipment models behind your hot work scenarios across permits, fire response and induction training.

How is hot work competence evidenced?

+

We score scenario decisions per learner and report them to your LMS through the optional SCORM add-on as an auditable record for audits and incident reviews.
