Fire Watch Security Guards for Construction Sites
Emergency and 24-Hour Fire Watch for Construction Sites
Construction sites often have numerous hazards that create heat, sparks and flames. A building that’s in progress lacks the necessary safety systems to alert your team if there is a fire. Our construction site fire watch guards can step in to watch your operations and check for any hazards.
Our guards are well-trained for various situations, such as overseeing “Hot Work” like welding or soldering. We can identify risks before they escalate and contact the necessary emergency personnel if the need arises. We’re ready to respond to your requests for support on short notice so your work keeps moving smoothly.

OSHA-Compliant Fire Watch Service for Your Construction Site
Construction sites often have multiple hot work activities going on simultaneously. Depending on the size and scope of the site, numerous teams could be cutting, welding, torching or brazing at the same time. Both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) set regulations that require trained fire watch security guards to observe hot work at construction sites in these circumstances. To keep projects on schedule, these tasks are often organized quickly, without proper fire watch oversight.
National Firewatch keeps your construction site safe and OSHA-compliant at all times. Our guards receive the best training in the industry and are supported 24/7 by our dispatch and admin teams. We can deploy guards to most parts of the country within hours if you require:
- Emergency fire watch to observe hot work at your construction site.
- 24/7 fire watch security coverage for an ongoing construction project.
- Fire risk assessment for an open-air construction site.
