Hot Work Job Audit Checklist

This hot work job audit checklist helps teams verify permits, readiness, and controls for welding, cutting, and other spark-producing work. It guides users to confirm trained permit issuers, document start times and job descriptions, and check that fire protection systems are operational. It covers 50 ft housekeeping, use and condition of fire retardant panels and screens, protection of combustibles, and photographic documentation. The template includes fire watch responsibilities, including extinguishers on hand, continuous monitoring during work, a 60 minute post work watch, and extended monitoring for 3 hours. It also prompts for final checks at 4 hours, signatures, and returning Part 2 of the permit for archiving.
