01Why keep a fire watch after hot work?
Sparks can smoulder unseen for a long time. A fire watch of at least 60 minutes after finishing (often longer) catches fires before they spread.
02Is this a permit to work?
It is a checklist for the precautions on a hot work permit. Your site's permit system decides who issues and signs it.
03Can the permit be signed?
Pro adds a drawn signature; on the free plan, print it and sign the paper copy.
04Is it free?
Yes. Fill it in online and download it as a PDF, Excel or PNG, 3 reports a day, with no sign-up, and you can add your logo. Pro adds photos, your signature, premium designs and unlimited reports.
