Hot Work - Fire safety for manual workers

We offer lectures and exercises conducted by experienced specialists. We provide training for individuals as well as organized groups. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Our Offer and Scope of Topics
We have divided the Hot Work HSE course into two parts - theoretical and practical. The lectures will cover topics such as:

Final Exam
After completing the course, each participant takes a final exam, consisting of both theoretical and practical parts. Upon obtaining the required number of points in the written test, the trainee can proceed to the practical part, which involves performing tasks related to fire suppression and handling firefighting equipment. If the participant passes both parts, they receive a Hot Work certificate (in the form of a plastic card or mobile app) and are registered with the Norwegian Fire Protection Association. This certificate is valid for 5 years in Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.

Workers in the following roles are among those who need a Hot Work certificate:
