Ensure safe welding, cutting, and grinding with this hot works inspection checklist. Verify SWMS and permit approvals, confirm tested fire extinguishers on hand, and ensure sparks and hot metal are contained. Check PPE compliance and double eye protection, proper welding earth placement, and the use of welding screens and fire blankets. Review safe routing of leads and hoses, grinder use per procedure, and collection of welding rod stubs. Inspect gas cylinders are secured with operative gauges, flashback arrestors, and sound hoses. Barricade areas below oxy cutting, remove combustibles, and keep leads off machines. Document weekly inspections and capture findings, names, dates, and signatures for compliance.
