TVA Consulting Offers Hot Work Certificate Training for Finland, Norway, and Denmark

Hot work safety is about recognizing risks and taking appropriate actions to prevent accidents. A thorough risk assessment is essential and includes inspecting premises, evaluating construction materials, conducting gas testing, and checking sprinklers and detectors. Once risks are identified, the hot work area must be cleaned, and all flammable materials either removed or adequately protected. The principle is simple: “Move what you can, cover the rest.” Additionally, being prepared for emergencies with suitable fire extinguishers and a hot work guard is critical. Ensure your team is well-trained—book our comprehensive Hot Work Certificate Training today.
