Hot work watch helps keep vulnerable property, equipment, and employees safe from dangerous fire hazards. Typically, hot work guards are deployed in an area where hot work (welding etc) is taking place, where a fire alarm or sprinkler system is malfunctioning or down, or in the wake of a natural disaster that caused a power outage. They act as an extra safety measure to keep valuable capital, infrastructure, and any people on the premise out of harm’s way due to an unforeseen fire.
While only a temporary solution during the interim that fire systems are not working properly, hot work guards are extremely important because at these times, property is at extremely high-risk for ignition. Whether the risk is the type of work being performed or the lack of other safety measures, a hot work watch company can serve as peace of mind that the things that are most important will be out of harm’s way.
