Hot Work Toolkit (UK and Ireland)

Travelers has teamed up with RISCAuthority to provide a hot works online training and certification tool.

Cutting, welding and other hot work operations present a major fire risk to organisations and have the potential to cause very significant losses. Fortunately, these losses are largely preventable when supervisors, employees and contractors receive appropriate training to understand the risks and take specific precautions.

Travelers has teamed up with RISCAuthority to provide a hot works online training and certification tool. The tool takes visiting contractors through a hot work safety video, before asking a series of questions to assess their understanding of hot work safety requirements. Upon successful completion, a personalised certificate is issued, which also contains important site contact and emergency information.
