Fire and explosions are the most critical risks associated with hot work. Sparks, molten metal or heat generated during welding and cutting can easily ignite flammable materials like oils, chemicals, dust, or gases present in the work area.
For example, performing welding near fuel storage or chemical containers without proper isolation can lead to catastrophic incidents. Lack of fire-resistant barriers and poor housekeeping further increase the risk.
