Hot work

For the type of metalworking process, see Hot working.


Hot work refers to any process that involves open flames, sparks, or heat-producing tools and equipment. The term "hot work" is commonly used in industrial and regulatory contexts, often carrying specific safety and compliance requirements governed by fire codes and occupational safety standards.

Common hot work processes involve welding, soldering, cutting, brazing and the use of powder-actuated tools or similar fire producing operations. These processes produce sparks or heat which can ignite flammable materials around the work area or flammable gases and vapors in the workspace.
