Hot Work Permit AI
AI-assisted hot work permit management and fire prevention on construction sites.
Definition
Hot Work Permit AI manages the hot work permit process for welding, cutting, and other fire-producing activities. It evaluates fire hazards, verifies precautions, and tracks permits to prevent fires during construction while maintaining compliance with fire prevention requirements.
In Depth
Hot work — welding, cutting, brazing, and other operations that produce sparks or flame — requires a formal permit process under NFPA 51B to prevent fires on construction sites and in occupied buildings. AI manages the permit process, verifying that fire prevention measures are in place before hot work begins and tracking compliance throughout the work.
The permit checklist verification confirms that combustible materials are removed or protected, that fire watch personnel are assigned, that fire extinguishing equipment is available, and that the hot work area is monitored for the required cool-down period after work is complete. AI tracks each permit's status, alerts the safety team when fire watch coverage lapses, and maintains the documentation record that OSHA and insurance carriers review.
