What Certification Do You Need to Fire Watch?

While there isn’t a specific OSHA fire watch certification, OSHA regulations do require fire watch personnel to be trained according to 29 CFR 1915.504(c)(2)(v). This ensures they can perform their duties effectively and ensure workplace safety during hot work operations.

Our comprehensive Fire Watch training course fills this gap by providing the training mandated by OSHA. Upon completion, you’ll receive a certificate signifying you’ve undergone the necessary training to become a qualified fire watch professional.

Does OSHA Require a Fire Watch?

OSHA does not mandate a fire watch for all operations. However, 29 CFR 1915.504(b) specifically details circumstances where a fire watch is necessary.

In general, OSHA requires a fire watch whenever hot work is being performed and there’s a risk of sparks or embers igniting nearby combustible materials. Examples of hot work include welding, grinding, cutting, and using torches.

What Are the Duties of a Fire Watch?

The responsibilities of a fire watcher can vary, but here are some duties that are commonly expected:

  • Before and During Hot Work: You’ll learn to establish clear communication with workers performing hot work, ensure proper fire extinguishers are readily available, stay informed about any work restrictions, and maintain constant vigilance throughout the operation, including breaks.
  • Stopping Hot Work: You’ll be trained to identify situations that could lead to fire and have the authority to halt work if necessary. You’ll also learn how to communicate these concerns to supervisors and relevant personnel.
  • In Case of Fire: Our course equips you with the skills to attempt extinguishing small fires using appropriate equipment, always within the limits of your training. You’ll also learn when to sound the alarm and evacuate the area.
  • After Hot Work: Your duties aren’t over when the hot work is finished. You’ll be trained to monitor the area for at least 30 minutes after completion to ensure no smoldering embers ignite unseen fires.
