Emergency Plans
This one-day programme provides supervisors and managers with the oversight and accountability required for work-related hot work operations.
It covers fire science, including managing oxygen-enriched atmospheres and recognising invisible heat transfer through surfaces, as well as inspection protocols for gas and arc equipment, flashback arrestors and acetylene safety to prevent explosions.
The course establishes a robust Safe System of Work, treating hot work as a controlled necessity rather than a routine task.
Attendees will understand the application of the hierarchy of control to evaluate "cold" alternatives and structure bridging documents to manage shared risks between hot works and the surrounding work activity. The course extends to dedicated fire watches and addressing human factors like "permit fatigue" to prevent the normalisation of unsafe workarounds. Finally, the programme ensures emergency readiness by integrating hot work plans with fixed fire suppression systems and emergency services. Participants establish clear procedures for immediate work cessation and safe evacuation from confined spaces etc. This training provides the "ground truth" needed to protect personnel, assets, and business continuity.
