Have and maintain line-of-sight to hot work being watched
Inspect extinguishing equipment before the hot work starts – Check connections, hydrants, hoses, extinguishers or other components for operability, discoloration, corrosion, or wear. Verify pressure is Ok, and tag is current.
Wet down areas where combustibles may be present, to reduce chance of ignition.
Ensure containment and barricading is sufficient to control slag and sparks.
Verify that a gas meter is present at the hot work at all times. If LEL readings change (beyond meter “drift”) or the meter goes into alarm, hot work must be shut down.
Only try to extinguish fires when they are small enough to handle with your on-hand fire extinguishing equipment.Call your site emergency response number immediately prior to trying to extinguish fire.
All fires, even flash-fires, must be reported to the site emergency operations center.
Stop (and don’t start) unauthorized hot work.
Do not perform any other duty that might interfere with primary duties as Fire Watch.
