Downloads: 20+

Use this hot work and welding safety checklist to plan and control high risk tasks. It guides crews through fire watch duties, clearing combustibles by 35 feet, installing welding blinds or shields, and verifying PPE including shade appropriate helmets, safety glasses, flame resistant clothing, gloves, and face shields for cutting and grinding. Inspect hoses, regulators, tips, gauges, cords, electrode holders, and grounding. Confirm the correct fire extinguisher is within 35 feet, complete and post the hot work permit, check ventilation and lighting, and maintain clean, debris free work areas.
