Following on from this the course sets out the hazards associated with such works, explores the controls that can be put in place to keep your workplace safer and finishes by explaining why you should use a permit to work scheme for hot work activities. Written in our straightforward, easy to understand style, this course provides you with all the information they need to help keep everyone safe in the workplace.
