Course Outline
Delivery: 1-2 Hours
The Fire Watch training program is designed to provide participants with knowledge and
information necessary to perform fire watch duties. Any construction or industrial site
engaged in “hot work”, namely work processes that can produce a source of ignition
such as a spark or open flame, must implement a hot work management program
including the provision of fire watchers. This training equips participants to identify and
assess hazards that can give rise to fires. Most important to the participant will be a
focused discussion on specific efforts they can introduce in their workplaces to prevent
the potential for fires and related explosions and when necessary, the steps needed to
respond to fires and explosions.
