Fire Watch for Hot Work

🔥 Hot Work Fire Watch – OSHA-Certified Compliance You Can Trust

Hot work refers to high-risk construction activities like welding, soldering, brazing, flame cutting, or riveting, where sparks, heat, or open flames can easily ignite surrounding materials. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), specific safety protocols—such as designated fire watch personnel—are mandatory during these operations to mitigate the risk of workplace fires.

At Fast Guard Service, every fire watch guard deployed to a hot work site is OSHA-certified and specifically trained in the protocols for welding and cutting safety. Our teams are equipped to meet and exceed OSHA’s compliance requirements, ensuring that your site remains operational and protected.

🚨 When Is a Fire Watch Required During Hot Work?

Per OSHA welding, cutting, and brazing regulations, fire watchers are required under the following conditions:

A fire hazard is likely to develop during work
Combustible materials are located within 35 feet of the hot work area
Openings within 35 feet expose other combustible spaces or materials
Flammable materials may be present behind walls, partitions, ceilings, or separators, which could ignite from radiant heat or conduction

Before issuing a hot work permit, your contractor or safety officer must assess the site, identifying combustible hazards such as oily rags, waste material, exposed fuels, vapors, or flammable liquids. Fast Guard Service can support this pre-work inspection and advise on appropriate guard coverage.

👨‍🚒 What Our Hot Work Fire Watch Guards Do:

Maintain constant surveillance over the active work area
Identify and eliminate ignition risks
Sound the alarm immediately at the first sign of smoke or flame
Remain on site for a minimum of 30 minutes after the job ends to monitor cooling and prevent post-operation flare-ups
Ensure documentation and communication with safety managers or local fire officials as needed

With Fast Guard Service, your site gets more than just compliance—we deliver reliable, professional protection from certified guards who understand the risks and responsibilities of hot work operations.

Fire Watch During Malfunctioning or Down Fire Detection Systems

It’s crucial to maintain a constant fire detection system. Ideally, this means properly working sprinkler systems, fire and smoke detectors, fire extinguishing systems, and water supplies. Sometimes, one or all these aspects of the system may be malfunctioning, compromised or altogether not working. To provide the necessary fire guard services during these system-down times, Fast Guard Services has the professional and fully certified guards you need.

At times, impairments may be planned maintenance periods that must regularly occur. Examples of scheduled impairments include building renovations or system updates. Unplanned impairments can also occur due to damage, outdated infrastructure, electrical faultiness, or a leak. Depending on what the issue is and what caused it, it may be a lengthy repair time, creating an interim of impairment that puts the entire location at risk. During these vulnerable periods of time, there are lives, equipment, and property at stake that must be protected from any threat of fire or explosion.

While the proper maintenance repairs are made to the fire detection system, a human detection system is the next best thing to keep everyone and everything on site safe. Since they are inevitable events whether planned or unplanned, it’s a good idea to have a chosen company for fire watch guards on hand so that backup is just one call away. A Fast Guard Service fire watch guard can act as that physical fire detection system, thoroughly maintaining safe conditions and ensuring the entire area is not under immediate threat.

One fire guard can make the difference between a catastrophe and a minor accident. Keeping them around the clock during the period of impairment is the best defense against potentially disastrous incidents. As soon as a faulty fire detection system is noticed, Fast Guard Service is able to immediately dispatch licensed fire watch guards to the scene. Fast Guard Service’s fire watch guards will also remain on location until the full functions of the fire detection system are operational and the entire system has been inspected and certified by the Fire Marshall.

The Duties of a Fire Watch Guard

Our fire watch services will meet the needs of each job while following a set of protocols and tasks that are applicable to all situations. Once local personnel familiarize our guards with the layout of the area, they will conduct regular rounds of the entire location.

Depending on the needs of the location, rounds can be performed every 15 minutes or every hour. Rounds include checking all emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and high-risk ignition areas. Guards arrive equipped with all the materials needed for an efficient and safe notification and evacuation in case of fire. They will have keys that access the full building and all materials used to record information on each round.

Guards will report on start and end times of each round, any problem areas they noticed, and any communications with the Department of Public Safety or local fire departments.

To ensure the full safety of your property, call Fast Guard Service. We’ll make sure that your person and property are protected from any fire risks. Our fully-certified and friendly guards will ensure that you are in good hands.
