Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s easy to underestimate the dangers of hot work, especially when it’s something your team does regularly. But even one small mistake like a spark landing where it shouldn’t, or a tool not used correctly can have devastating consequences. Fires caused by hot work account for millions of pounds in damages every year, not to mention the risk to people’s health and safety.
By investing in this training, you’re helping your team recognise the risks and understand how to control them. It’s about building awareness, encouraging safer habits, and protecting everyone on site.
This course also helps you meet your legal responsibilities as an employer by making sure that anyone who performs or supervises hot work has the knowledge they need to keep themselves and others safe.
