Hot Work Passport Training

Hot Works Passport Training Course Overview

Our hot works passport training course will provide all the knowledge you need in order to make you more aware of the risks posed by hot work. 

Within the course, you will learn:

• How to conduct a hot works risk assessment
• How to fill in hot work permits 
• How to prepare the area for hot work
• How to conduct hot works safely 
• How to monitor the environment, to ensure no hazards arise once the work is complete

This training course will also make you aware of your responsibilities to yourself, your colleagues and the environment in which you are conducting the work. In most cases, the course can be tailored to your individual workplace and the kind of work you do.

The hot work passport training covers every stage of the process, from risk assessment and preparation to final precautions once work is complete.

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. 

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.

The course has been carefully designed, to ensure that all workers are fully equipped with the knowledge they need in order to work safely in hot work, from start to completion.

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

A hot work permit is a permit under the permit-to-work scheme, 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.

When any hot work takes place there is a requirement to have a fire risk assessment (FRA) in place, however, for many hot work activities as well as having an FRA in place, there also needs to be a hot work permit in place also, as the risk of a fire is much greater when hot works take place.

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.

What is the legal requirement for a hot work permit?

It is often a legal requirement for anyone in the UK who is involved in the generation of heat, sparks or flame to hold a hot work permit.

The British Standard Institute definition of hot work (BS EN 9999) is:

 “Any procedure that might involve or have the potential to generate sufficient heat, sparks or flame to cause a fire.”

If you are unsure as to whether you need a hot works permit, read our detailed guide on hot works permits.

Who is the course suitable for?

The course is aimed at anybody who has responsibility for managing or carrying out hot work activities:

• Managers
• Operatives
• Supervisors
• Fire Watch
• Safety managers
• Anyone who wishes to understand or requires training in using Hot Work Permits.

Is there an assessment?

Yes, it is important that all candidates understand all parts of the course as it is delivered. There is a final written test at the end of the training, which needs to be passed to complete the course.

Do we receive certificates?
