Product Overview
The Hot Works Management Plan is a comprehensive, ready-to-use safety document designed specifically for Australian workplaces where welding, cutting, grinding, soldering and other hot works are carried out. It provides a structured, practical framework to manage the significant fire, explosion and health risks associated with hot works across metal fabrication, plumbing and gasfitting, building and construction, automotive and mechanical, and manufacturing environments.
This professionally developed plan supports robust work health and safety practices and helps you demonstrate WHS compliance to regulators, clients and insurers. It is written in clear, practical language and aligns with Australian legislation, codes of practice and common industry standards.
Key Features
- Detailed procedures for planning, authorising and controlling hot works, including a clear permit to work process.
- Role-specific responsibilities for managers, supervisors, workers, contractors and fire watch personnel.
- Comprehensive risk control guidance for welding, cutting, grinding, soldering, brazing and oxy-fuel work.
- Specific controls for non-designated areas such as construction sites, plant rooms, roof spaces and client premises.
- Checklists for pre-start inspections, permit issue, fire watch and post-work monitoring.
- Guidance on PPE, gas cylinder management, fume control, confined spaces and working at heights.
- Templates and tables to support record keeping, inspection and safety documentation.
Benefits
- Strengthens work health and safety systems and reduces the likelihood of fires, explosions and serious incidents.
- Supports WHS compliance with Australian legislation, codes of practice and client requirements.
- Saves time by providing a complete, structured hot works procedure you can adapt to your operations.
- Improves consistency in how supervisors and contractors manage hot works across multiple sites.
- Provides clear, defensible evidence of risk management for audits, tenders and insurance reviews.
- Enhances worker awareness through clear instructions, responsibilities and practical checklists.
Who is this for?
This Hot Works Management Plan is ideal for:
- Metal fabrication and welding workshops conducting routine and project-based hot works.
- Plumbing and gasfitting businesses undertaking soldering, brazing and work on gas systems.
- Building and construction contractors performing on-site cutting, welding and roofing works.
- Automotive and mechanical workshops working on fuel systems, exhausts and structural repairs.

- Safety managers, project managers, site supervisors and HR/compliance staff responsible for safety documentation and systems.
Legislation & References
The Hot Works Management Plan has been developed with reference to Australian work health and safety legislation, supporting regulations and relevant codes of practice.
