Hot work pre-start checklist

It has 6 checks: A hot work permit is in place if your procedure requires one; Flammables are moved away or covered; A charged extinguisher is within reach; A fire watch is assigned for the work and the time after it; Floor and wall openings near the work are covered; Gas cylinders are secured and hoses are undamaged. 4 of them are critical.

When the work happens. Use it before welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, or any work that makes sparks or flame.

Write down what failed, who will fix it, and by when. If a critical check fails, stop and fix it, or keep people away from the hazard, before the work goes ahead. In Reldro, a failed check can become a corrective action with an owner and a due date.

You can read it here for free. To use it, get it in Reldro. It arrives ready for you to edit to fit your site and procedures, your crew can complete it on a phone even without signal, and Reldro keeps each completed checklist with the site, the date, and who did it.

No. It's a starting point for your own inspection. Adapt it to your procedures and the rules where you work. Reldro doesn't certify that a site or job is safe or compliant.
