Hot works – online course

The insurance industry in Norway requires that everyone who carries out hot work has a certificate documenting that they have undergone approved training in hot work. The certification is valid for 5 years. Hot work means work where machines and equipment are used that generate sparks and heat that can lead to fire. Hot work includes the use of open flame, hot air, welding, cutting and/or grinding equipment🧯🔥

The course is approved by the Norwegian Fire Protection Association and is based on film, animation and active participation. Through the presentation of realistic events, work tasks, review of routines and risk assessments associated with the execution of hot works, you will acquire useful knowledge and good attitudes.
