By their nature, hot work activities are hazardous. If not handled correctly, they cause serious incidents. Annually, it is estimated that hot work causes an average of 22 civilian deaths and 171 civilian injuries in the United States and results in $484 million<\/strong> in property damage. US fire departments responded to an estimated average of 3,396 structure fires<\/strong> involving hot work every year from 2017 to 2021. These fires killed 19 civilians<\/strong> each, resulting in 120 civilian injuries and $292 million<\/strong> of direct property damage annually.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, activities involving hot work account for approximately\u00a08%<\/strong>\u00a0of work-related fire- and explosion-related fatalities.<\/p>

According to statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers involved in hot work have higher rates of burn injuries, with some\u00a010,000\u00a0cases annually. These statistics show just how majorly poor measures over hot work safety can have and really drive home the importance of comprehensive safety protocols.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Effective safety measures significantly reduce the risks involved with hot work. Organizations that have undergone proper hot work safety training<\/a> report a 50%<\/strong> decrease in hot work-related incidents. The NFPA reports that facilities that utilize hot work permits had 30% <\/strong>fewer fires than facilities not utilizing permits for such work. Furthermore, a properly retired fire watch during hot work can minimize the opportunity for a fire to occur by 70%<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
