by Gareth Allman, from the Community

This Hot Works Permit to Work checklist helps teams control welding, grinding, cutting and other ignition sources on site. Record work details, validity times, company and supervisor, number of personnel, and verify risk assessments and method statements. Confirm fire precautions such as extra extinguishers, fire blankets, fire watch, and any detection or suppression system isolations. Document isolations for electrical or mechanical equipment, PPE requirements, removal of combustibles, and screens for weld flash. Capture acceptances, approvals, renewals and completion checks, including post-work inspections to ensure no smouldering materials remain.

Permit to Work - Hot Works
This Permit to Work for Hot Works template supports a safe system of work for welding, cutting, grinding, and other ignition-producing tasks. It captures site and contractor details, a description of the work, and the validity window. Mandatory precautions include isolating fire alarms and suppression, clearing combustibles, confirming utility isolations, providing firefighting equipment, establishing a way to raise the alarm, attaching RAMS, and maintaining safe egress. It formalizes authorization by an approved person, acceptance by the competent person, and records fire watch details. It also provides sections for time extensions, completion, and permit closure to ensure the area is left safe.

Hot Work Post-Notification Checklist
Use this hot work post notification checklist to document safety checks once hot work activities have ceased. Verify debris and contaminated material are removed, maintain a one hour fire watch, inspect the work area and surrounding equipment for hazards, confirm removal of blanking plates or fire blankets and that isolations are cleared, then record a signature for completion. Designed for construction and maintenance contexts where welding, cutting, or other ignition sources are present, this checklist helps standardize post work verification and reduce residual fire risk.
