This is an EXCELLENT resource for those looking to strengthen their Hot Work program, specifically the role of the Fire Watch within that program! Keep in mind this was written for the state of NY, but most of it is still relatable.
Fire watch is a temporary but critical safety measure used in various industries and contexts when automatic fire protection systems are impaired or when particularly hazardous conditions elevate the risk of fire.
