Fire Watch Security Guards for Hot Work
Emergency and 24-Hour Fire Watch for Hot Work
“Hot Work” such as welding, cutting, torching and brazing is typically done in a dedicated facility with specialized fire safety systems. When those systems fail, or when tasks are conducted off-site, fire watch security for hot work is required to observe and report fire risks.
National Firewatch deploys guards with the highest levels of training and experience. Our fire safety experts have decades of experience observing these tasks and can deploy to your jobsite within hours.

OSHA-Compliant Fire Watch Service for Hot Work
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations are very explicit regarding fire watch: guards are needed whenever fire safety systems are absent from a jobsite or when additional fire risks are present. Facility operators must not reassign their existing staff to this duty — only dedicated personnel with specialized training can monitor the building or work area.
National Firewatch has offices nationwide that are ready to offer hot work fire watch services whenever you need them. We deploy quickly to keep your work moving. Our guards usually arrive within hours and conduct thorough fire risk assessments before, during and after the job. We cover various situations where you need these services, including:
- Expert supervision of tasks such as welding, torching or cutting.
- Coverage for a built-in safety system that has suffered an outage.
- Last-minute jobs that require immediate assistance.
- On-site fire risk assessments for construction projects.
- Significant events that present a fire risk.
