Why is training for hot work important?
The aim of this training course is to minimise the risk of fire, personal injury and costly downtime. Statistics show that many workplace fires occur in connection with temporary hot work, often due to inadequate risk assessment or incorrect safety procedures.
Through the training, participants gain a deeper understanding of how fires develop, the division of responsibilities, and how to take the correct preventive measures before, during and after the work is carried out. The training concludes with a certification test and, upon passing, participants receive a valid certificate for hot work.
Our hot work training course is structured to provide both practical benefits and meet all formal requirements. The course covers, among other things, fire safety knowledge and fire behaviour, applicable laws, regulations and insurance requirements, as well as how to carry out risk assessments and obtain permits correctly.
Participants also gain knowledge of fire-fighting equipment and its use, and are trained in practical scenarios where theory is applied to real-life situations. The combination of theory and practice ensures that participants feel confident in their role upon completion of the training.
When you book a hot work training course with Arbetsutbildningar, you receive training tailored to real-world work environments and current requirements. Our instructors have extensive experience in fire safety and occupational health and safety, ensuring a relevant and engaging training programme.

Upon successful completion of the hot work training course, participants will receive a certificate confirming that they meet the requirements for carrying out fire-hazardous hot work.
