What is a hot work passport?

A hot work passport course shows that a candidate has a full awareness of the fire risks associated with carrying out any hot work activities in a construction setting or as part of any maintenance activity carried out on a site. Hot works in construction activities are generally carried out in an environment which is not designed to be safe by design for hot work activities.

The training course is not required for any hot works carried out in a designated area for hot works e.g a welding bay. A welding bay, by its nature, is designed to be safe for hot work activities and would not require hot work permits.

 

What is the difference between a hot work passport and permit?

A hot work permit is a formalised risk assessment which is required for hot works carried out in or near buildings. It is an expectation of any enforcing body e.g. H.S.E. or local Fire Safety Officer that you have a hot work permit for hot work activities.

A Hot Work Passport is a 1 day training course to show that a candidate understands the fire risks associated with hot work activities and the processes involved in carrying them out. The Hot Work Passport course includes training in how to complete a Hot Work Permit and become competent.
